There should be a script that we could add to an update.mcm that would
actually unload the package from the image.  Put this in Trunk, so
that when you upgrade from Trunk, the package (Universes, ancient
'deprecated' packages, etc) are actually removed from our images.

Then, if we want it back, we'll manually add it back into that specific image.

(I like being able to just upgrade to the next version from Trunk -
and not having to download a 'relese buildered' image later on.)
