Sounds good as well.  Although this is not always the real truth.  If I e.g. 
install an experimental pkg using synaptic and after installation I remove 
the component providing the pkg, it was not installed manually.  And from 
that moment (removing the component) the pkg is "no longer registered in the 
local pkg database".  Even that is not true as the pkg is registered in the 
rpm database....
