make uninstall from tarballs is fine; but make uninstall from CVS can
indeed do this. It used to happen on my RH box (haven't checked for a 
while) and I believe it happened on at least some Mandrakes too. Using
rpm -V gettext was an education: 20 files missing from /usr/share !

Perhaps rpm and dpkg it differently, or perhaps it's only some CVS
apps, or... 

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ will tell you more: it comes up on
this list and gnome-devel-list in particular.
