That goes beyond the scope of Trac itself and is related to setuptools .

  - The simple answer is «today there's no way to remove packages
    installed using setuptools or easy_install».
  - The continuation is «Python devs are working on that and many
    other things in the upcoming Distribute module».
  - My suggestion is «if package is available in your OS pkg manager
    (e.g. apt on Debian, rpm on RH, ...) then use it »
  - Open issues «when Trac will take benefit of all these improvements ?»
    «what changes are needed ?» ... I just don't know :-/
