What about literally doing that?  If one installs a package foo-0.1.spkg,
then a file

    spkg/installed/foo-0.1

appears.  It could contain a list of all the files that are installed
by foo-0.1.  Then uninstall would delete all those files.  The only
problem is when a file is in multiple packages; but that is a problem
in most systems.
