Yes, because if something was installed by the package manager, it has
to be uninstalled via the same means -- otherwise your package manager's
dependency resolution system could break horribly. :-)

I have been considering in the back of my mind whether it might be nice
to set up Launchpad PPA's to offer Ubuntu/Debian packages of the latest
stable and development Lilypond.  Since I've also never been involved in
packaging before, I'm loath to commit to such a thing -- but what does
everyone think of the idea in principle?
