These things change the way the tablet works. Nokia aren't going to be able to test and support these things. It's up to the people who package these add-ons to find a way of safely reverting back to the previous behaviour if they find the world they're inhabiting gone wrong. Or to disable auto-update. Or to better inform their users.
I run linux since the mid 90's (first slackware and then suse) and never ever had issues like this.
How on earth can a package install/uninstall fail because a post install script doesn't find some file or can't perform an action like to kill an already non-running daemon? Or because a rc.d link is or isn't active? Or, still much worse, because some user owned file is or isn't somewhere?
That's plainly incredible
