Specification updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AccountPrivileges?action=diff&rev2=18&rev1=17> As briefly explained there, I disagree that we should remember trust-store records for uninstalled apps, for a couple of reasons. Most importantly, it's possible that you accidentally declined app access to something, and didn't realize or forgot that you did. In that case, uninstalling and reinstalling would give you a chance to correct your mistake. Also, a new version of an app might use a privilege for quite different reasons from the version you had installed years ago.
