Umm.

In the first case, you adjust BITS, or wget, so it logs the audit with 
which application asked it to install the stuff, or something. This 
isn't impossible, its just lazy, and has been for so long that the 
problem has grown out of proportion to any relatively minor issues that 
might have cropped up as a result of trying to do it right in the first 
place.

In the second case, SQL, since your application should only care how to 
talk to, and maybe where, the SQL is not where the documents end up. 
But, yeah, it can get complex.
