The package name is a technical detail which holds no interesting information 
at all for the non-technically experienced user who just wants to install an 
application.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely that this will ever be shown in GNOME 
Software, and honestly, I don't see any reason - even for a technically 
experienced user - why the package name should be shown there. Finding out the 
package name for someone who can use the command line is a matter of seconds 
anyway.
For the "normal" user even explaining the abstract concept of what a "package" 
is is a challenge, let alone it being useful when they have an UI like GNOME 
Software.
Can you explain why you need this? (Maybe there is an actual bug or usecase 
hidden which we should address)
