I usually put all the packages that I build from sources in the

want to remove a program I simply delete the subfolder from /opt/.
I'm not sure whether this is a good aproach. However, I think.,
with little effort you can construct the debs/rpms from the
sources.
checkinstall is better than this approach. Instead of "make install",
you type "checkinstall" which will generate rpm/deb and install using
that rpm/deb. No more or no less (commands). To remove the package,
use your distro's package management tool/
