I would like to make a suggestion:

If you install extensions or other data gathering applications in the
testing cycle do the following:

Inform the user to the best of you abilities about your intentions. In the case 
of Multisearch a link on the search page leading to an explanation would be 
GREAT!
If it's some other kind of desktop software pop-up a big windows with an 
explanation (or at least a short description and a link to the full 
explanation).

The main point is: INFORM us! Tell us what kind of data you are
collecting (I suggest an anonymous policy by default, more invasive data
gathering should ONLY be opt-in not opt-out).

Understand that I'm a volunteer here. And so are the rest of girls and guys 
that test the next Ubuntu version.
I'm positive that a lot of people would LOVE to help you get useful data that 
could improve Ubuntu (or make Canonical some money for even more Ubuntu 
goodness). But you HAVE to be transparent.
