im a bit of a n00b with how and what you can do with apt-get
If there's a package in one of your enabled repositories named "moovida" then it will get downloaded and installed (along with all its dependencies). My understanding is that, by doing it this way, you won't get any update notifications for the app, and it won't get included in the app list in backups. I suspect it also won't appear in app manager for uninstallation either.
