Yes! That's the right way to do it.

No, you shouldn't see that icon anymore. What yu observe seems strange.
Could you please have a look at the folder
Code:
/usr/share/applications
in Easy Debian and watch for a file that resembles the name of your uninstalled application with the extension .desktop? If the uninstallation worked correctly you shouldn't find one.

You're inexperienced. There's nothing wrong with that. No need to apologize.

Please at least keep available to the users a functioning version of EasyDebian that retains audio!
Don't worry, I'm by no means an "official" Easy Debian developer. My personal changes won't affect you unless you repeat them.
The problem with sound is that the Sueeze version of the sound server "jackd" seems to be incompatible with the version used in Maemo which means that they can't communicate with each other. With my current knowledge I wouldn't even know where to begin to look for a solution without doing mayor changes to the stock Squeeze system (which I want to avoid).
