It's only different in policy not technology.

These are related things. Ubuntu tries to ignore the difference and as was already discussed just says: In order for your application to be distributed in the Software Centre it must be in one, self-contained directory when installed.

Sadly it does not provide any means to create such one, self-contained directory.
