 Although it seems Google are not currently enforcing this, Google Play's
 policy says apps should not be able to update themselves - so having a
 toggle-able pref seems risky.

 (Google Play's only says we can't update the app, but it doesn't say the
 app must not be capable of updating itself). #26528 may give us what we
 need for this.

 That's what I had in mind, yes.
