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
does not show up as an add-on on the screen for Totem. So there is a
very easy way for you
Thank you for your answer Matthew.
So there is a very easy way for you to help more people know that
totem-plugin-arte exists: mark it as Enhances: totem.
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 with

Many useful packages are said technical and not displayed by default

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.

I partly agree, that's why I proposed to display this kind of packages
by default in search results but under a subsection such as Advanced
utilities.
The software-center is going to replace Synaptic so it also has to be
suitable for advanced/experienced users.
But being advanced doesn't mean
I must add that, currently, I don't think many beginners will notice and
click the Show technical items link. So, for them, what is not
displayed may just not exist...
So displaying such an advanced subsection by default may also be a
workaround for packages such as mine that do not have (yet) an
