Description
I think it would be useful to be able to negate a package or specify that a package should be uninstalled(possibly purged with apt-get).
At the moment, I am using actions and dynamic groups to do this. The only problem is that the actions are run every time I run bcfg2.

Right now, the package removal specifications are not explicit. However, because Bcfg2 has an inventory of all installed packages, the behavior is correct. ConfigFiles? are another story (since Bcfg2 doesn't yet have an inventory list of those).

You should be able to do this using the -r option on the client. For example, assuming you only want to remove unspecified packages, you would run the client with:
This should result in any unspecified packages being removed on the client.
