You could also adjust the manifest URL for tracking, e.g., adding a query string parameter. You could correlate that on the server side as well (e.g., trying to detect apps that were installed but never opened). I'm not sure if a manifest URL change would trigger a review in the Marketplace, but hopefully not and if it does then that probably is worth fixing.
