[Squeakfoundation]Incorporating removals & KCP stuff

[Daniel Vainsencher]

Maybe it's worth reconsidering having the SM package be included in the
base image. I'm of the opinion that it's a reasonable piece of bootstrap
code. This also allows to have updates of the style "get/update package
X", which will be important as soon as we start maintaining images
composed of packages that change on SM.

This is a separate (immidiately available) technique to maintain
multiple images based on packages, before we have configurations.

This might be valuable, if people are very concerned about not having
the images other than base right now. For example, if someone is really
bothered about not having the full media image right now.

A hack, but one that takes the pressure off us getting configurations to
work.
