educated guess at the answer...

contrib/remove prints the commands to remove the package, it does
not actually do the removal, thats up to you to select the text abd submit it,
in a similar way to slay(1).

It also preprnds a hash to the rm command for any files which do not
match those installed - so if you have changed one of the packages files
it is not removed by default.

does this clear things up?
