Why don't you trigger the removal then when the OEM tool has run after
the first boot?
Make the app remove itself when it is run a second time.
Or, alternatively, you could already implement this logic on top of PK
using a small tool. I am not sure if this is a useful general feature
to be shipped with PK...
