Right. Note that the installedPackages Dictionary is different in
SM1.07. Now it has an OrderedCollection of Arrays as values with
timestamps and sequence numbers etc, see the code.

But you can still manipulate it in whichever way you like, we should
probably add some API for uninstallation etc.

The only "other" place where this info is kept is in the changelog, and
the idea of keeping doits in there to try to keep the installedPackages
Dictionary "correct" when recovering images was perhaps not that smart
anyway.
