The second alternative is the way to go if we ever want to have uninstall capabilities in the future.
A generic uninstaller could use receipt info to figure out what to remove. A generic uninstaller could not "rewind" a post-install or post-upgrade script.

Actually, it would first require preventing installation by drag and drop.
