That is still very-very poor security. Unless the package is linked to your IMEI and/or runs in some protected environment (hello DRM) it takes just one person to spread the .deb. But I agree with twaelti, it might be 'open' for those probe-balloon purposes. Even with the iPhone people pirate stuff. And those guys are doing EVERYTHING to prevent it. Compared to that, Maemo 5 is a walk in the park, making any (tech-side) effort near-pointless. So, really, as bad (good?) as it may sound, the main test here is that of buyer honesty.
