Yes, except that there are other packages that may need it, not just
the functionality, but package wise. The dependency tree can be
complicated and removing it can root out a large chunk of the existing
packages. May be rpm is easier as I sort of read that it doesn't have
an as complex package system as say debian so may be individual rpm can
be removed at will.
