Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
Typical example: I just installed Banshee. I was using Rhythmbox, and
the Magnatune option. I want to install it in Banshee, as it's missing.
I open the software center, and simply type "Magnatune". There are a few
results, but nothing related to Banshee. I didn't look into the
"technical items" as I thought it would never be there. Why would this
option to add a new music provider be "technical"? And as I discovered
afterwards, it was actually in those technical items.
To me, the "technical items" term is a quite misleading in this case. I
don't think newbies will try to click on this option if they are looking
for a new functionnality. And they will be left thinking that there is
no option to do that with the software when in fact it was just a few
clicks away.
I don't know what is the perfect solutions, maybe make a difference
between the actual technical items and the "add-ons" like this?
