Let me point out that the code that I posted doesn't delete without user confirmation. It just takes the user to the system's "delete this application" screen under "Manage applications", where they can choose to delete or not.
I don't know of a standard way to delete an application without user confirmation! Even if you can do it, I'm not sure you wouldn't screw up the package manager, so I wouldn't recommend it. That's on top of your user-experience reason, which is the main reason to do it this way, if at all.
