I don't see a big user experience regression if debs get first downloaded to desktop before you can install them. Installing debs isn't something you do on a daily base. In turn you get improved security by not providing a click through way of installing them from the web. - Alexander -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
