Now that I have a Panther system at hand, I am pondering the creation of an OSX
package (*.pkg) via epm (http://www.easysw.com/epm/). As a side effect, this 
would
also allow the creation of RPM, DEB etc packages without any extra effort.

I wonder however, whether a native OSX package would not do any harm.
AFAIK Apple does not provide an uninstall option in its package 
manager/installer.
Or has this changed with Panther? Or are there any third party tools that allow
the uninstallation of OSX packages?
