Dumping creates an Emacs executable that includes everything that was
loaded prior to dumping.  Technically, it's a more-or-less exact image
of the memory Emacs had.  So the only way to remove parts of the
loaded packages would be to unload those parts from memory.  We
currently have only unload-feature, which is not granular enough.  I
don't know how hard it would be to do what you suggest, but it doesn't
seem easy to me.  Maybe I'm missing some infrastructure.
