Ok, I have implemented all of that:

	tlmgr update --all --no-auto-install

will not auto-install any packages, but later on those will be considered
as forcibly removed.

OTOH one can call
	tlmgr update --all --no-forcibly-removed
That one will install all packages that tlmgr considers forcibly removed.

(As in a different thread, --sync is to general so I want to keep its
interpretation for now free)

Best wishes

ZEAL MONACHORUM (n.)
(Skiing term.) To ski with 'zeal monachorum' is to descend the top
three quarters of the mountain in a quivering blue funk, but on
arriving at the gentle bit just in front of the restaurant to whizz to
a stop like a victorious slalom-champion.
