That's not what merge modules are for. Remove them from your installer & bootstrap the redistributable instead.

However I would now like to leave the merge modules installed when my feature is removed. The Permanent option on Component sounds like what I want, but I can't see a way of applying it to the merge modules. How should I go about doing this?
