That seems to suggest that you can't be sure of doing a clean uninstallation, and the user has to run both uninstall and clean - is that what you meant? It seems a shame to have to do that. With my suggestion about keeping a list of shared locations around, then namespace package directories could be kept in such a list. When uninstalling, all the subpackages added in the particular distribution being uninstalled would be removed, but the namespace package directory itself wouldn't be, as a shared location. Are there any downsides to keeping such a list of shared locations, and using it in the way I've described?
