The uninstall of a package is triggered with 
#package remove $SHORTNAME

(or via "manage 3rd party apps" GUI).

If you need implementation details (which users don't care about, and
packagers shouldn't either, although sometimes have to :)):

Anything that passes through logCommand is added to uninstall log.
(standard autopackage APIs like copyFiles, mkdirs, logFile and so on use
logCommand underneath).

The log is then executed inside uninstallFromLog function. Which is
usually located in uninstall section of a package.

So package like this:

[install]
touch /tmp/somefile
logFile /tmp/somefile

[uninstall]
uninstallFromLog

Will have 
removeFile /tmp/somefile
in its log.

The log and uninstall script for installed package located in
/var/packages/$SHORTNAME/log
/var/packages/$SHORTNAME/uninstall
(Assuming default root installation of support code).
