You're really just asking for maintenance issues with this approach. I'd do one of two things: 1> ship your product with a pre-existing index that holds your documents or, preferably 2> use the MERGEINDEX core admin API command to get your required docs in the "live" index. <2> is robustly supported and has a far greater chance of not giving you grief.
