Hi Johannes,

(I am bit late on this but anyway)

uninstalling stuff that have been installed via "make install" (as a superuser 
of course) is not easy -- one has to remove them manually!  In other words, 
one has to to search for (all?) related (qgis) files under several directories, 
i.e. ~/.qgis, /usr/local/include/qgis, /usr/local/share/qgis  and more.

checkinstall  is there to make this process easy.  Plus, it creates a .deb file 
which might be useful as well.

My knowledge and experiences upon the issue are, of course, limited and maybe 
someone else can shed some real light.

All the best, Nikos
