This might be because of the update-before-remove functionality. In case the
local package (the one which you removed from the profile, but not from the
package database I guess) is outdated then WPKG will first run the latest
install commands as defined within the server database before executing the
remove procedure.

The reason for this is to allow administrators to fix up broken uninstall
procedures in existing packages and therefore allow clients to remove the
packages correctly.
