Comment (by swissspidy):

 The `'uninstall_' . $file` can't be deprecated. It's essential for plugins
 that want to register uninstall functionality (though using an
 `uninstall.php` file is encouraged. See `register_uninstall_hook()`.

 If really needed and useful, a `pre_uninstall` action could be added. For
 your use case, hooking into the `pre_update_option_uninstall_plugins` hook
 should work though.
