That's an odd request, because doesn't it make more sense to

distribution is that the app disappears when the dmg is unmounted.
Not if you use an internet-enabled DMG. And I don't want my
applications trying to install themselves in /Applications; I have
apps installed in ~/Applications or other places on my network home
folder at work.

Well, if the app has already been automatically copied from the
internet-enabled dmg, then it won't be running from the mounted dmg
volume, so just as with zip distribution, there's not much reason to
offer to re-install it elsewhere.
On the other hand, it was a terrible decision by Apple from a security
perspective to have files downloaded from the internet automatically
open, and everyone really ought to turn off this default setting.
