		Hello. Alek.

Now as I remember migration sripts don't have any facility to do 
dependent migration except time dependance.
Everything migrate step by step(users, groups, tickets...)
If you want to filter out Tickets and objects linked to them you have to 
  hack scripts a lot.

I think better idea is do full import then write contribution scripts 
for different objects wiping. Contribution section already have one for 
wiping out "deleted" Tickets. This scripts can form good package "RT 
Shredder".

So it's not easy task as I think.

		Good luck. Ruslan.

PS. Everything above is only my opinion.
