My idea: Blueprints which deconstructs every matching real item it has inside.
Add it either:
- as right-click action
- as a mode to enable with a button press
- a toggle inside the blueprint's editor (toggle should change color of the blueprint from blue to purple or so)
This can help with large factory restructuring to apply gradual improvements to your blueprint collection to older parts of your factory.

Re: Deconstruction blueprint (position-aware)
"Empty space request" for blueprints as mentioned by kovarex here is similar to what I suggested here,
but deconstruction blueprints / or elements marked for deconsturction inside a blueprint would remove if element + orientation match.
With rail replanning, maybe there can be a way to have "empty space request" "below" other elements in blueprints, i.e. rails don't replace other rails on the same spot.
That wouldn't fit the name "empty space request" anymore, so it would be something like allowing to mark tiles as "clean wrong elements". (or keep "empty space request, but achieve same result by implementing this.
Then maybe I wouldn't need something like a deconstruction planner and only empty space request would fit my idea.
