It looks like older style packages may still end up in
/Library/Receipts, but most of them end up writing just the .bom &
.plist files to /var/db/receipts
As far as I can tell, there isn't a single list file there registering
a catalog of what has been installed. Rather, as with earlier OSX
versions, the folder itself comprises the list of installed software.
But because /Library/Receipts isn't totally dead yet, you may end up
having to check in both places to make sure you're cleaning up
properly.
