Yea, it has to do with how the creator packaged the app. I've seen it a ton and I've learned its safe to ignore.

Honestly, there's a lot of times that I download apps and still ls -laR and see if there are any .DS_Store or other OS level crud for me to remove. I don't want someone else's mess all over my pretty indexers 😉
