Do note, by the way, that this general approach of relying on a dynamic,
client-supplied list of packages that may need to be removed is inherently
more risky than one based on a centrally managed, static list of packages.
If your custom fact malfunctions (or is subverted) then you could end up
removing packages you did not intend to remove, including packages
essential to the client's operation.
