Comment (by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 I disagree.

 Suppose a plugin creates a table or adds a field on activate, and removes
 it on deactivate. Then the wp error checking code will run activate, and
 activate will run once again upon getting "truly" activated. For this
 reason, if activate gets run, deactivate should get run as well.

 Then, picture a plugin with a fatal error in the deactivation code.
 clearly that area of the code should be tested as well.
