Wouldn't it be easier to just either:

A) Remove the packages using the native package manager?

B) Not install packages automatically in the first place?  I assume if 
people install such manually, they know how to remove them?

If you do remove using PackageKit, do you ensure that the native package 
manager's data is properly updated?  If not, that would leave the system 
in a possibly unstable state...
