htmerge -m is not designed for deleting records, other than duplicate
or outdated ones. When a document is removed from the slave database,
there is no longer any record of it, nor any record of its deletion.
So, when the slave database is merged into the collect one, all of its
records are added to collect, but if collect already has a record of the
deleted document, there is nothing in slave to tell htmerge to remove
that document from collect. Your only option is to rebuild collect from
scratch, from its constituent parts.
