Currently, when addons are uninstalled, they are only kept in the DB until restart, and only if they require a restart. I want to be able to undo uninstall for bootstrapped addons, and potentially any addon after a restart. At the very least, a name and a URL for an install file should be kept.

This can all be handled on the UI side.

Dave, isn't that a bit more as what we wanna do in bug 553494? Will entries remain in the database for later undo? If yes, how long will those entries remain before we purge those?
