Actually IMO it would be nice to have an actual Ubuntu uninstaller of
sorts. For example & using a real situation: I have hardy installed on
one drive, gutsy on another. Both work well but now I'm finished testing
with the gutsy on drive 2 (sdb1/sdb5). I can certainly reformat sdb,
install something else on it, etc., but that wouldn't take care of
cleaning up /etc/fstab or /boot/grub/menu.lst.
