No.. the point is that if you delete application A. It will reappear
once the sysadmin installs application B. Unless I missed something.

I think it can be made that you get a notification when a application
you have marked 'deleted' gets updated by the system administrator.
(It means you have to keep the modification date in the .desktop
file as well, and check on startup whether the 'Origin' is newer)

Cheers,
