Take XFCE, user removes GDM install Slim.
GDM was installed now is not,
nothing is broken.
Will GDM being uninstalled be accouted for,
or will the install just matter?
Yes, it will be honoured. The clients will send a list of installed
packages. So after GDM is uninstalled, it will not be send anymore. The
next time the crawler runs after the client updated his list, the GDM
count will be effectively decremented.
