My point with "app" is "any file which isn't a lib, doc, test or extension, that needs to be located at a custom place by the person who installs the package". Either if it is a standalone application or (as you said) it's used by an application. We manage packages with no distiction between them. You know that a PEAR package may contain php files, only doc files, C extensions, etc., so a package with one or more files marked as "app" are still PEAR packages.
