 Not really. On MacOS, you just drag both to the trash.

 Well, I'd call that a bug that could easily be fixed. On MacOS X, 
for example, StuffIt automatically wraps unpacked files in a folder 
of the name of the archive (minus the suffix) if there's more than 
one item at the root level of the archive.

 Also, most developers on MacOS X themselves take care to wrap the 
files in a folder before compressing them. I agree that this isn't 
possible with disk images simply because a disk by itself is like a 
directory. But if I was asked to fix this or explain to 
non-programmers what a disk image is, I would choose the former.
