Yes, indeed good idea. The only part that I think isn't great is that
it implies a user would need a Launchpad account, which we very much
don't want to enforce (as per the request of the people talking to the
app development companies).
I assume the ease of using Launchpad is that it already has a registry
for user names?
Click packages doesn't talk to Launchpad at all, and I want to keep it that way.
Can we use com.ubuntu.$user.$app?
Where $user is something specified by the developer and guaranteed to
be unique by the software center server?
