Would those complaints be really due to "too many files" (ie. size issue) or
"too many files with questionable purpose"?  The latter can always be fought
by being more clear about the purpose of all the files.  In that sense,
having the symmetry of tools to handle both "make install" and "make
uninstall" would actually make the argument of including the tool for either
side more clear.

There's a difference to me.  I get to hear complaints about how many
files automake requires.
