Bug Description

I just shoot myself in the foot twice today while uninstalling some libraries on PLD builders.
Poldek happily allowed and carried out uninstalation of rpm and itself.
Please add an option for listing essential, non-erasable packages - something like "hold" for upgrades.

But still, it would be nice feature to be able to do it in poldek.conf
