It seems like they're trying to make it a simple and painless for the devs. If developers see a chance to make money on this new platform for only a little extra effort (repack and submit) to get their existing android app exposed to a new market, I think they will go for it. Definitely a better plan than asking people to write for yet another platform (iOs, Android, WP7, ...).
