Also note that if those packages actually did contain malicious code,
uninstalling is a totally pointless exercise. I rather doubt that an
attacker is going to be kind enough to add a remove script for their
rootkit ;)

(I've seen two different people say some variation of this, so I thought
I ought to drop off my $0.02 in case anyone was misinformed)

Cheers,

Adam
