Broken permissions is mostly voodoo, don't you agree? How often does
your custom installed applications fail because of problems with
permissions?
- you can remotely distribute it with ARD.
Let's fix ARD so that it understands how to copy .app bundles to the /
Applications folder. How hard could it be? Actually, I'm not so
certain that it couldn't do that today. At least it knows how to copy
files between computers.

Don't forget:

How about: $ cp -r MyApp.app /Applications
But this is quickly getting completely off topic. What would be the
appropriate list to talk about it? For things concerning the
installer, probably the Xcode-Users list (it seems that all developer
tools are on topic there?)? For general discussions about the right /
wrong way to install things, I don't know if Apple have a good list.
Perhaps Omni's Mac OS X Talk list.
