Poke.  I would like to argue that this is an actual problem.  It's
basically an (unintentional) attack on the rating system.  Falling
Blocks sits at 4.9, near the top of the Games list.  But it can never be
reviewed, and thus never lowered.

I imagine a future store years down the line listing Angry Birds below a
14.10-frameworked Falling Blocks that no one can review.

Is there a way for other app developers to also install under a
different package name?  Or was this accidental fallout from the naming
scheme change?  Because if other app developers can do this maliciously,
that could be a real problem.

Title:
  FallingBlocks app isn't tied to store once installed

Status in Click Package Index:
  New
Status in unity-scope-click package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If I install FallingBlocks from the app store, and then long press on
  its icon in my app scope, I don't see any of its metadata like I would
  expect.  No reviews, no author info, no version info, no screenshots.

  If I then go back to its store page, the store thinks it isn't even
  installed.  I only see the Install button, no Uninstall or Open
  buttons.  I am not offered the opportunity to review it.
