No, the side-loading package install UI is here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/PackageInstaller.git;a=summary
If you much around with PackageManagerService, the core package management of the system, you are going to break other things. And really, just don't much around with PackageManagerService at all. If you absolutely need some feature there, at least contribute it as a patch so we can review it and help make sure it doesn't break things. I have seen too many devices now with broken behavior because the manufacturer messed with PackageManagerService. It's a bad idea.
