Apologies for the late post, but I thought I'd clear up this
misconception.  Kickstarting from a Satellite server (ala RHN
Provisioning) actually does allow one to exclude packages, just fine. 
Simple prefix the package name(s) with "-", just as you would in a
kickstart config without the Satellite.

This is true now and was true in July, based on my personal experience.
