If you think about multiple views of the database then we are thinking
about it. On Solaris this is named the network, system, user layering
(probably the same on Linux).

At package uninstall this works for removal from the database and
removal of TOCs. Scrollkeeper will trace these things rather than
postuninstall scripts written by the packager. This seems to be better.
In addition when Scrollkeeper is uninstalled it will delete everything
related to it.
