That's not as big a problem unless the app installs more stuff outside
its own bundle/directory on first run. If it's self-contained, then
removal is a simple delete of the app bundle/directory.

The second alternative is the way to go if we ever want to have

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.
Alas, I think we may never see robust uninstall on OS X, because it
would require changes from Apple _and_ from all package developers.
Actually, it would first require preventing installation by drag and
drop.
