minus any package additions removal... which has bitten me a couple of
times... 

not sure if still applies.. but I used to make a .ecc file with packages
from the default system removed, and the .ecm would reflect it but
importing said .ecm file would never change the packages ... I had to
ship the customer the .ecc also..

twas a while ago and I've no idea if I can reproduce it at the moment
:-)
