Sure, see

Yes, these message persist.
The procedure was: install from DVD, upgrade the tlmgr as described in
the web page, and tlmgr update --all, as suggested. Nothing more,
nothing less.
I'll say also that the message "is newer than revision" does *not*
appear each time. I think that the mirrors are not synced. My source
is http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008 which probably
give me a random mirror. However, the following message is persistent:
texlive at universe:~$ tlmgr update --list
tlmgr: installation location http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008
skipping forcibly removed package chembst (collection-bibtexextra)
tlmgr: should not happen, please report: fontinst.i386-linux mentioned, but neither new nor forcibly removed
skipping forcibly removed package gene-logic (collection-science)
skipping forcibly removed package isomath (collection-mathextra)
skipping forcibly removed package xelibertine (collection-xetex)
texlive at universe:~$
Maybe is not important, but I installed it in /opt/texlive/2008 as user
texlive, to avoid the abuse of root.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you need a tester
Regards
Marco
