It doesn't really remove the preserve marker, it kills all the
meta-data. *sigh* I don't want to ask who wrote this :-)

I said it earlier when I committed the changes for bootstrap to
consistently register the packages -- just get the file list from the
preserved packages and add etc/mk.conf.

One issue with the current code is that digest for example is not a
bootstrap dependency. The easiest solution would be to do the same what
I am doing, nuke everything and start from a binary bootstrap kit.
