The expectation (not completely met) is that simply removing the packages will work. Last time I tried it *almost* worked to remove EToys, for example. Reducing inter-package dependencies can be time consuming and it is so very easy to accidentally (re)add one.

You can try removing packages by 
opening a Monticello Browser
selecting the package
menu 'unload'
wait...
hope...
