Yep, but the changes in the properties of an already existing object
do not seem to be cleaned during uninstall.

My goal was to have a small/simple product to solve a problem that will
be cleanly solved in a future version of Plone, so i would like to prepare
the removal of my product without leaving too much crap in the database.

But as Plone evolves, some products are no longer necessary, or become
outdated. So at some points you need to migrate and uninstall old products.
It's where a clean uninstall helps...
Anyway, thanks for your help (Raphael and jean-Michel), I finally fixed
the issue in the Extension/Install.py script and removed the use of GS
for this part.
