For free apps, it only needs to read .install files correctly (you can switch default applications easily I suppose).
Since Nokia edited apt so that it can't install from user/hidden (E: Handler Silently Failed), you'll need a modified apt package. Since the ovi store doesn't use repos, I see no reason why this can't be posted.

Edit: oh and if you install it, it will get 'upgraded' to the "same" version from the repos, so you should
Code:
echo "Package: apt
Pin: release a=unstable 
Pin-Priority: 1001" >> /etc/apt/preferences
to pin it.
