I don't know that there are different packaging requirements per se,
I'll have to leave that to one of the technical implementors to answer.

I think it's more that the whole process is easier from the view point
of the target user (who in this case is a potential application
developer). Get your app into a PPA (which is easy if you use Quickly),
ask for it to be reviewed, it shows up in software center on the stable
release.

Also, they're not just leaf node apps, they are also simple apps, so
easier to review, but I don't think that was part of your question.
