You can't expect people to keep the distribution they used to install
in a corner
of their hard drive, to make sure they will be able to uninstall it (or
to ask them to download it again)

That's all about the RECORD files and the asymetric uninstall script
described in PEP 376.

having an uninstall command on the top of the uninstall script is a
nice shortcut though.
