Requiring a .noarch.rpm to wrap around a zip file sounds redundant to

A *.wgt is not just a zip file, it contains some package-style meta data
as well, such as a description, author information, a version, and even
'feature requirements', which resemble dependencies:

Thus, a *.wgt can be automatically repackaged as a *.rpm.  We do this in
Harmattan, and it seems to generally work ok.

This automation can be done either on client side as part of installation process or on server side within app store. I guess you are speaking about server side transformation?
