Unfortunately, these are both lacks in DSSS, not lacks in its 
documentation :)

The current way to make a section non-installable is to simply make it 
non-default. This is a fairly new feature so it didn't yet make it into 
the documentation. Note to self: Add it to the documentation :P

That being said, there should be a better way.

I've made some tickets:
