What they mean by that paragraph is if you are uninstalling your software that was bundled with the extension, you should manually uninstall the extension as well by removing registry entries.

There is an uninstall event:

chrome.management.onUninstalled.addListener(function(string id) {...});

It would work for listening to other extensions being uninstalled, but catching your own uninstall with it most likely would not be possible.
