So it's a matter of proper ACL settings I guess?
In Windows, you can even set the ACLs so that the file is not removable 
by the admin (unless he changes the ACLs, of course), and for me a power 
user is someone who has even less privileges than an admin?

Yes, it will re-check and reinstall if the check fails, but the package 
is in the local wpkg.xml if that's what you meant.
But if the user logs in, removes the file, logs out, and then another 
user logs in, the file will not be there any more - you'd have to run 
WPKG once again.
But I think it's possible to solve your problem by setting proper ACLs 
on the files.
