Removing DBAL from the core will disable external database access completely because Install tool will not be able to create tables. Without tables EM will not work, so you will not be able to get DBAL from TER. Dead end.

So the solution would be to have something like "Download dbal.tar.gz 
here, extract it to there, then follow the steps with adding it to the 
localconf.php etc."

This is indeed clumsy.
So we come back to the concept of testing the dbal prior to delivery of 
a package.

How can I be of help?
