I'm not getting something. All ipkg packages need to be matched to the OS in order to install, right? Why do we need to change the name to .iliad? Is there anything else in the package that can be used to identify the platform the package was compiled for?

I'm just generally wary of changing a standard file extension, I guess. But if there's a real need for it, then I wouldn't argue against it.
