Yes, this seems like a good method.  This lets the user easily uninstall
things they don't want (by just rm'ing PKG-VER), and cleaning up a
few broken symlinks that result from that.  One of my personal
peeves is having software go into /usr/local/ and then when you go to
uninstall/updte it have to track down all of the cruft in /usr/local/lib
etc that the package brought with it.
