Ah, I didn't realize that. At the very least though, as Filip suggested,
perhaps uninstalling a package should disable the service? I suppose for an
upgrade for a service that was previously enabled, that would result in a
disabled service. But for an actual uninstall, the current result is an
orphaned running service.

Perhaps the best that can be done for now would simply be a message during
the uninstall similar to the other cleanup messages suggesting they should
disable and delete the service if it will no longer be used?
