How about a decentralized database, using the file system attributes and an 
index?  You could tag all files that belong to an installed package with a 
PKG:BelongsTo attribute, then people could also easily what something belongs 
to by using the Tracker to view the attributes.  Similarly you could have a 
special file for uninstall code (usually a shell script) also associated with 
the package.
