Specifically with OO, does it matter? Well, it does matter somewhat. If the unopkg stuff is not called, then the extensions get physically removed, but stay registered and pretend to exist. Its not a massive problem because if they get installed again, then they are "force" installed and overwrite the previous ones if they weren't cleanly de-registered. And it can only happens if you remove "core" so where they are registered into has already been deleted. Though it should have been done cleanly in the order indicated by the postun Requires etc. > Is there cruft left because some cleanup is not done?

The packages that use unopkg have explicit Requires(pre): openoffice.org-core Requires(post): openoffice.org-core Requires(preun): openoffice.org-core Requires(postun): openoffice.org-core which is "the right thing" to indicate that they need core to be installed while being installed and uninstalled. Sadly this seems to have very little effect in reality.
