No, and yes. If it's something which is in (or can be put in) the
archive and is seen as required by the platform then yes, otherwise,
not really.

Don't apt-get upgrade, we never test that use case on Touch, and don't
guarantee any success with it.

You're better off trying to package your application / library as a

right now would be of limited use.
