Synaptic and the add/remove program application are frontends to apt (aptitude), which was the Debian package system, now adopted by many distributions. As the iLiad also uses debs (if I remember correctly), one should be able to simply compile apt and make a distribution source for it. This contains application information extracted from the deb packages, and also has dependency checks etc. Creating a small GTK frontend/browser for it would be fairly basic.
Perhaps the package managers of the "Familiar GTK" handheld distribution (familiar.handhelds.org) or the Nokia surf tablets would do?
