I don't see why --remove should be different from --add, the latter
does not perform any file operations unless you give it --rename.
Even if you decide that --rename is a good default for --remove, please
make a new option so that we can do --remove without --rename. It's
very useful when you're diverting something important like /bin/sh
since you want to manage the content yourself.
