- M-x, list-packages
- install any package (for example foo)
- now in elpa directory check that foo-$version and foo.txt exists
- go back to package list and uninstall package foo
- now elpa dir still contains foo.txt
I think the correct behaviour would be to remove the readme file, too.

I can't decide if it is a feature or not to leave the README behind.
You might still want to read about something you just removed,
without having to download it again.

Don't you have to view the package's description before that?

Furhermore, the -readme.txt files get saved in the elpa dir regardless
of whether you install the respective packages or not.
They are cached there: when the user opens the description buffer for a
package that hasn't been installed yet, the -readme.txt file gets
downloaded, saved, and then displayed.

I think you've confirmed that this is intended behaviour and not a bug.
