How would you use DVS for a package that included a removal of a
method that's shipped with some other (non-DVS) package? I ran into
this just now, as I'd needed to do a little re-factoring on some
system classes to make something work.
Since DVS doesn't seem to be able to express method removals, it would
seem to be unable to do this...
