i dont understand the whole point here, isnt ubuntus enduser orientation
implying that this special unexperienced enduser will use synaptic (or
any other graphical software manager in the future) ? at least my
version of synaptic offers me a list by status and especially a list by
installed/non-installed packages (in case i really want to know)....

i think it is pointless to discuss this.....
