To be quite honest, I am at a loss as to why Mandrake have gone the two application approach.
I find it counter intuitive and clumsy.
I also find the installer annoying if I try install a list of packages, something goes wrong and it forgets all the selections I have made. I have to repeat them all again for the next attempt (really bad if you are doing wildcard searches then have to individually de-select packages due to conflicts/space)

But I have little ideas on how it logically fits in the 2 application-design for add/remove. Perhaps a search in either of the two programs can indicate if an app is already installed/not installed?
