DiapDealer - Why couldn't the PI removal framework invoke an 'uninstall_cleanup' method within the PI (assuming it exists). That would put the onus on the PI to know about its dross files rather than the framework itself. Obviously the PI developers would have to add the uninstall_cleanup method to relevant PI's - at their convenience.
I'm blissfully ignorant of calibres PI framework - so "BetterRed, that's not the way calibre PI's work, or that's hard to do in python, etc" are acceptable answers.
