We don't want to exclude it, we want to add it to localdb instead. Since
%REPLACES% is not there now, it will be just an extra unused but informative(?)
field like %PACKAGER%.
I wanted to exclude it from -Qi listing only, if you choose not to store the
%REPLACES% information in localdb (because then we always get "Replaces: None"
false report, like now).
