AFAIR (but didn't check the code), even from a removed package a backup
is made in case the autobackup fetaure is turned on. But I am not sure.

And then, I am always calling myself tlmgr update --list first ...

The kind of restaurant advertised as 'just three minutes from this
cinema' which clearly nobody ever goes to and, even if they had ever
contemplated it, have certainly changed their mind since seeing the
advert.
