Why? This is unnecessary, and a bad change; please don't do it!

See, the entire purpose of defining a macro for RM is that it gives me,
as a package builder, the option to override the default 'rm -f'. By
removing that definition, you've not changed the default behaviour in
any way, but you've robbed me of the option to substitute a preferred
alternative. I consider this to be a regression.
