Public bug reported:

The names of a packages (as you would type them when installing via a
command prompt) are not indicated in gnome-software.

Even when I use gnome-software to locate a package, I still want to know
the package's official Ubuntu name, because I usually want to add that
package-name to an command install list (sudo apt-get install package1
package2 package3), so that I can install all my packages at once the
next time I do a fresh install.

That fact that gnome-software can locate packages for me is great. The
fact that it doesn't reveal the official name of the packages is lacking
(for me).
