Mark the component as transitive and give it a condition that evaluates to false. More details at:

I know http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa367850 indicates that removing a component requires the product code to be changed (which would force a major upgrade). But from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370093.aspx, Windows Installer 4.5 and later: The component can be removed correctly using Windows Installer 4.5 and later by setting the msidbComponentAttributesUninstallOnSupersedence attribute in the Component Table or by setting the MSIUNINSTALLSUPERSEDEDCOMPONENTS property. I also found http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/bugs/1193/ which seems to indicate that this isn't possible.
