We shouldn't reject a package that provides some functions in software-center's field but software-center still not implemented yet.
As we can see software-center has already gained basic PPA support, and I guess it WILL be more tightly integrated with Launchpad services. Will you reject software-center when it provides function like 'search and add Launchpad PPAs'? I guess most people won't against it if the feature is decided and approved as a blueprint, but why you think such feature is an issue getting in the way of including it to Ubuntu archive? In fact ubuntu-tweak isn't a copy of any program that we already have in Ubuntu, including software-center, update-manager or whatever we can list here. On a common user's view, it is really useful and provides a set of great features that improves Ubuntu's user experience.
