*shrug*

Look at it this way: if hundreds, if not thousands, of feed reader
programs can figure out how to cache feed results and only download
updates, one would think their patterns (e.g., metadata) might work in
your case.

I think it is all removed on a true uninstall. An upgrade (adb install
-r, downloading an update from the Market) is not a true uninstall --
the presumption is the application wants that data.

Personally, I think it'd be nice to have hooks whereby if you, say,
supply your own Application class, that it would be called on these
sorts of events (onInstall(), onPreUpgrade(), onPostUpgrade(),
onUninstall()). But, such hooks do not exist today, AFAIK.
