The problem is that you cannot simply select an ipkg file from the contentlister. A change would have to be made to the er_registry.txt in order to allow for this. The iLiad only allows running of scripts, so a script to kick off the process will be necessary.
Edit: Besides, I don't think that we should allow all ipkg files to be run anyway. I can see a user assuming all all ipkg files will work, install something that wasn't made for the iLiad, and fill up their root file system. If we force an iLiad specific script to install it, it will prevent such things from happening.
