Yes. porkupan's jailbreak installs the certificate on the kindle. We need this there so we can sign our hacks with the key, and have the kindle verify it and allow them to install.

Also, I didn't include an uninstaller for the repackaged jailbreak, since the jailbreak doesn't change anything, it only installs the public key to /etc/uks/pubhackkey01.pem . And this should never affect an official update. If it turns out later that amazon specifically writes an update to fail if that file is there, then it's a simple case of making an uninstaller that simply removes the key.
