Fair point ; although a "simple" way to get round this is to split the component that pulls from the feeds into a separate package, which can subsequently be obtained from "elsewhere" while you distribute the shell itself as per normal.

A reasonable comparison would be the various LastFM mobile clients that allowed a user to import a key from a PC-based client but of course did not distribute such a key.
