Thanks, it's clear now.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding here (sorry if it's me, English is not
my mother tongue)

I was talking about a separator in search results.
Look at the current update-manager: all updates are displayed in the
same list but with separators such as "Security updates", "Proposed
updates" and other.

In fact I only suggest to display something similar in the
software-center search results area (for example when you just launch
the software-center and type something in the search field).
It could look (basically) like that:

**Recommended applications**
→ (insert all current non-technical results in Maverick)

**Advanced utilities**
→ (insert all other packages except *-dev/*-dbg/*-data/lib* and all
other useless-alone/really-technical packages)


and keep other packages hidden.
(a click on "show technical packages" may append them at the end of the
list under a "**Technical packages**" separator).

Is my idea clearer now?

Well, here I just wanted to use totem-plugin-arte as an example.
I already opened a bug against app-install-data to add a .desktop file
and I'm just waiting for a soon to be released new upstream (bugfix)
version to add "Enhances: totem" to the package and then to push it in
Maverick.
So I don't really need a bug report to track this.

But if you think that it makes more sense to open a new bug, then it's
ok for me. I let you decide.
