As for me, I tend to look at install counts as statistical estimates,
not as exact quantities.
As such, they may be off by some amount, especially when the absolute
numbers are low (e.g. anew application).
The recently made adjustments supposedly make the numbers more true to
life, esp. the active install counts, wrt. devices that are reset
without uninstallling everything first.
Still, I wouldn't expect them to be precise as in: "500,000 vs. 499,999
active installs out of 1M vs. 1M+1". A simple "about 40%" is good enough
for me :)

"Active installs" is relevant when you expect revenue from

Raghav and Kostya are right; the statistics in the Developer Console
is a joke. The first week when I published my application, "active
installs" was higher than "installs" for 2 days! How about that? :-)

So, "installs" is bad, "active installs" is good, then, right?
Ouch.
