No, it's not. PackageKit API does not provide application screenshots, for
example. They're fetched on-demand from http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/ or
http://screenshots.debian.org/ (they're the same website anyway).

As for paid apps, there's a staggering number of possibilities. Ideally
we'd use something distribution- and vendor-independent, and I have a few
ideas on how to achieve that. But IMO it's too early to discuss
implementing paid apps yet. We'll design the architecture for that when we
get there.
