I'm not talking about the design, but the purpose, maybe you could shift its design into a more benefic one?
Encoraging users, specially the less savvy ones, to install software like that is a danger and the reason why Apple's decision is both bad and right at the same time. The main problem with Apple's decision to only run cryptographically signed software, is that you don't own the keys, Apple does. So they control what you can install. I urge that opkg be modified in order to install packages only if they're signed, and that it takes excrutiantingly painful paths in order to install something without a signature (if you want an example, Firefox's excellent new Bad Certificate warning, many hate it because they find it a hinderance to read and learn, but they made the right decision).
