Just had a talk over here about this and the Energy Profiler could come out as a closed source app (sorry, opening it looks like a no go, things that close to the battery are problematic). Some checks needed, but I'll continue bugging people about it.

As for other tools, the tools repository used for the SDK contains a really nice set of tools that can be run on-device too. And the repository is allready there, so it's only a question of adding it in application manager. I'll do some wiki updating to the extras testing article to get that info up-to-date.
