no, this works as along as Christian has build a cab file of
such a package.
But you can build it and send it to him. I did this in the past to have
actual versions of beamer, xcolor and pgf. Christian uploaded the files
then within one or two days.
What the TeX-World
really needs is a good package manager for Linux/Windows/Mac. The
MiKTeX one is no _real_ one, because it cannot install
_all_ packages.
Christian is currently hard working to build MiKTeX on Linux. I don't
know his plans about the package manager. But he's mostly interested in
proposals. So if you have an idea how to make it better, you should
contact him.
