It depends from application category - after installation of zip/unzip from .deb file via dpkg, Application Manager shows it on my N900 w/out any problem.

But after removal of red pill in 44-1 Application Manager don't want to show any application in 'admin' category for example, even it is installed on your device. And couple another categories too.

Some developers want to keep you from yourself, Brock.

BTW, you can use 'Petrovich' application to exchange files between two N900 "via BT, E-mail and sharing". I didn't test it and it is in 'system' category (not 'user') but it is still not banned.
