Just thinking off the top of my head, but don't most (all?) of the 
uninstallers do a "self remove" of the .uninst and the .mdtlst files 
when they are done executing, on the assumption that the preceding 
steps went as planned?

If so, I guess it would be possible to run the uninstall script, have 
the RPM removal fail, but the rm of the .uninst script work ok, 
leaving you with no uninstall script for the PKG.  Not life 
threatening, but makes it difficult to remove a PKG for real...
