deps.perl can be useful for non-CI purposes as long as it's not
blindly removing packages.  Thus, a --allow-remove flag now
exists for CI use and removals are disabled by default.

deps.perl also gets easier-to-use in that now install/os.perl
is split off from from ci/profiles.perl so OS-supplied packaged
manager.

+Files in this directory are designed for:
+
+* users using from git or tarballs (and not the OS package manager)
+
+* lazy users who can't be bothered to read all of INSTALL
+
+* automated testing scripts (see ci/README)
