(Whiteboard: [spark]) 

In bug 1123846, we discovered that we need DeviceStorage permissions unlocked for all apps in order for the Customizer to be able to generate add-ons for them.

This API is actually needed for a workaround [1], since Blobs must be backed by the File interface in order for the `mgmt` API to install them. Perhaps we could just fix this interface instead.

Fabrice, can you take this? Would it be better to just fix the workaround, or unlock the permission?

Fabrice and I talked over IRC. We're going to go ahead and fix the platform workaround in comment 0 reference [1], rather than unlocking DS.
