This is a good point and one I completely overlooked in my previous comment.
On this note, we have no idea exactly what Jolla is planning wrt an app/market store of their own.
We have been told to focus on development of apps using the SDK and wait for further instruction when it comes to uploading to any specific repo or store-front, so I can only assume that something is obviously in the pipe.
to this end, there wouldn't be much difficulty in setting up an "android" section in any application store/repo to accomodate ease of searching for apk's
