[issue12416] packaging does not have hooks callable during distribution removal

We need to make it crystal clear in the doc: developers need to understand this behavior.

Also, for a fatal error, I am -1 for activating this for an uninstall hook because we want to uninstall wathever happens in the hooks, +1 for others (as long as it's coupled with a --force option)

It can be a specific exception the hook can raise to stop the process
