Holy grail,
if you like to do this, this means you need to 
look carfully if a package not only has a dependency 
to a apckage because it needs a interface or the configured 
implementation.

We have a lot of dependency to package because we 
depend on interfaces and not on the implementation.
Right now it is Ok, if we skip the configuration.
But If you will configure them by default in zcml.
MY next step whould be to move the interfaces out of
the packages if I don't need the configured component
rather then override it. Becaues override.zcml sucks.

e.g. I'm useing zope.app.folder.Folder as a super class
but I never use the Folder as component. etc. etc.

In my point of view I whould say this is not possible
at all.
