PR_Service doesn't help with PRINC removal, because PRINC is applied on
first number in PR and AUTOPR is appended as extra number after dot.

You were supposed to send corresponding PR bumps to upper layers when
removing PRINCs, like:
http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit?id=c6825ec6e92e20bb64a051d1576f363c16e98d68

but it's probably too late for daisy.

You can wait for PV/PE upgrades in upper layers or in worse case break
upgrade path and remove PRINCs without replacement (e.g. if it's in your
private layer and company doesn't care about upgrade path).
