On the tablet you just install apps. Why should the installer need to be

A properly configured device (as it should have been) should NEVER ask
for root permissions.
All programs just copy their own executables and write their own
configuration in a file. It can be made in a user writable directory
(perhaps in the memory card too [see below]).
Same holds for libraries.
I can think of very few .debs (if any) that need to be installed by root
on a tablet.
What you are describing looks like the sandbox in /var/lib/install used
in IT2005 for all packages. It crippled device extensibility a lot and
was a true PITA. I'd never go back.
