This change is pretty minor. Should just be altering the manifest file

In shuffle's case its not just altering the manifest file. 
Shuffle has a widget and uses background services. Widgets will not be 
available when the app is on sd. Services are also a tricky thing on sd.

See http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html#ShouldNot 
for more information.

There is a way [0] to get background services and widgets working with sd, but 
this way isn't useful in shuffles case (it would require the apps shuffle, 
shuffle-synchro, and shuffle-widget).

So I think that this issue could be won't fix. 
But if someone is interested in this issue and can get app2sd AND widgets & 
services working without confusing the users too much, feel free to do it. If 
you've got questions on how to get started, feel free to ask (per mail).

Agreed - it's not like a game with 20MB of images. I intend to use ProGuard in 
a future version to reduce the APK size as well.
