Packaging and distributing data files or plugins

Is there a supported way to submit data files, or non-applications to the store?

There are a few things that come to my mind I would like to have, but that I think are not supported at the moment in the store:

  • data files such as
    • fonts (these may need to refresh the font configuration on installation and disinstallation etc.)
    • Ambience sets (I suppose these are "kind of supported", since the other half installs its own, but no third party can do this at the moment)
    • plugins/extensions of various kind (for the browser, for sharing files or for instant messaging protocols, gstreamer codecs...)
    • extra data for applications (extra game levels, maps, start charts...)
