Could Listaller just add an attribute to the applications table? I
don't think it matters if other applications add stuff to the database
schema.

Why do you need to know the application desktop file, and the
timestamp? I'm also not sure the repository table belongs in the
app-install database, it seems very Listaller specific. That said,
you're tree to add tables as long as you also add the required
TRIGGERs to ensure the entries get cleaned up whe app-install-admin
revoves entries.
