Of course not. Those uids stored on the sdcard can only affect the programs on the sdcard itself. I.e., who cares if somebody changes the uid of a program on the sdcard? It still won't coincide with an on- device program. If you want to start dealing with global security (which is right now managed by the manifest file of the program rather than by a global security database), you can, of course, encrypt the uid database. Which would be nice. I would certainly like the ability to to tell a program NO, you CAN'T have access to my contact database rather than doing it the hard way and hacking the manifest.
