Two questions:
1) Do we have to take "disappear" into account for TeX packages? We
conflict with each other, so we will for sure never replace each
other. AFAIU this is the precondition for a disappear call?
2) (ignorant Norbert) What would be on the todo list on case of a
abort-remove and abort-deconfigure? No idea for me.
Best wishes
