Adding "Enhances: totem" will *only* cause an "A totem plugin to watch
streams from arte.tv" checkbox to appear on the screen for totem. It
will not cause your package to appear by default when searching for
"arte".
Conversely, adding a .desktop file will *only* cause your package to
appear by def

I will do this, however I'm sure totem-plugin-arte appeared on the totem
add-ons list when I reported this bug. Perhaps it changed wit
Nicolas, totem-plugin-arte 0.8.5~pre-2 does not have "Enhances: totem",
and totem 2.31.6-0ubuntu1 has neither "Recommends: totem-plugin-arte"
nor "Suggests: totem-plugin-arte". For that reason, totem-plugin-arte

The software-center is going to replace Synaptic so it also has to be
suitable for "advanced"/"experienced" users.
But being "advanced" doesn't
So, for example "nethack-console" should not be technical, even if it's
console-based? Non-technical items are mostly graphical applications,
and it wouldn't be good to show terminal apps to the end user, as he
will not use them anyway and will only be confused as to which app he
should use.

Thanks for the tip! I will do this.
However, I still think that the "technical" label (and the hiding in the
software-center) should just be for *-dev/*-dbg/lib* packages.

Nicolas, technical items are items that do not have an entry in app-
install-data. If you want your package to be non-technical, you should
make an entry there.
