It's more readily resolved by leaving it installed, including in
menu.lst, in the first place, which is what Mandriva's URPMI does by

I know how to use Bugzilla if it becomes appropriate, but that it is not
for discovering functional existing features, which is what my OP asked
about. If the answers I've seen already are any indication, I will be
needing to find or file such a bug as my OP asks about.
