Click packages are the new packaging format used by Ubuntu Touch

Click is the code name used to describe a packaging format for Ubuntu mobile applications. This format specifies how individual apps are delivered to mobile devices, how they are packed into distributable format, and how they are installed on a mobile device by a system provided package manager.

The click packaging format is completely independent from facilities to do full-system installations or upgrades.
