Customized Events

I would like to create an object, instances of which can appear on the Calendar, with some attributes displayed in addition to what is offered by the Event object.  One option would be to define a new Event RecordType - call it "Special Event".  I can add my custom attributes to the Activity object, but only show them on the layout associated with events of type "Special Event".   I can create a custom tab that creates these Special Events.
 
However, if I now want to publish my application, is there any way to "package" the customization of the Activity object along with my application?
 
Or is there some other approach I should be taking?  Is there some way to create a completely new object type, but one that is somehow "based on" Event so that it can appear on the Calendar?
