This is why fremantle / trackerd integration CAN be smart, files belonging to debs could and should automatically be ignored f.e. by the application installer (either directly or through MAFW if possible). Otherwise, chances are almost all of 'extras' will do it wrong at first, have a bug filed, have it corrected by the author or the community, make a patch, distribute it, make wikis about it, make sticky posts with giant letters addressing developers, maybe even making a patch to the garage autobuilder to this automatically because all of the above failed, etc. This could all be avoided with a proper approach in the beginning and it's not that hard to do.
Since both projects are open and openly developed, why don't you go talk to their developers instead of wasting time speculating on it with too little information?
