A few comments to help clear things out:

- this is a key feature of the WebApps technology that would actually
prevent it from properly working so its "Importance" should be set to
'high',

- the code is strictly confined to libunity-webapps and has been tested
for some time now, as Robert Carr pointed out most of it is covered by
tests,

- the feature is actually split into two different components: when
visiting a website, libunity-webapps searches for matching "integration
scripts" first locally, looking for "preinstalled" integration scripts
(associated with specific web applications) in /usr/share/unity-
webapps/userscripts that simply consists in plain javascript files along
with a basic manifest, if nothing is found, it searches for available
packages (pulled on a regular basis from the Ubuntu repo) and installs
it. Those packages only consists of a set of icons and javascript files
being after considered by the WebApps extension.
