Public bug reported:
This happens on the latest GNOME Software 3.34.2 on Ubuntu Focal.
Manually installed deb package (that does not contain any AppData), for
example Steam from Valve (https://store.steampowered.com/about/), cannot
be uninstalled using Ubuntu Software. The manually installed package
appears under Add-ons section on the Installed tab, but it is gone after
Ubuntu Software is restarted. When right clicking the Steam icon in
GNOME Shell Overview mode and selecting "Show Details", details page
with Ubuntu repository version of steam-launcher is displayed instead.
The only way to remove the deb package using GUI is downloading it
again, clicking "Install", then clicking "Remove" before closing the app
details page.
