Not sure. Certainly they themselves can't be, as they're closed-source, restricted licence, Nokia copyrighted applications.

Perhaps some kind of shim which sort of repackaged them on device would be doable? It'd:
  • Mess with the index/repackage of mediaplayer
  • Have an icon for Application Manager
  • Have a human readable title for Application Manager

HAM does do clever stuff with non-user/ packages which aren't required anymore. Once the SSU meta-package link is broken, would a "expose-mediaplayer" package which just depended on mediaplayer and provided an icon be sufficient? Once it was uninstalled, mediaplayer might go with it...?
