Yes, that would work.  You can also remove the files of the packages and
leave the package itself installed (after verifying that nothing else
than the osso-software-version-rx34 package depends on it.)

A better option might be to just remove the osso-software-version-rx34
(or -rx44) package and update 'manually' with "apt-get upgrade" etc from
then on.

It is also possible to put alternative meta packages into the maemo.org
Extras repository, if there is enough interest in the community to
maintain their own variants.
