Oh well, you know what they say about assuming.... =) I suppose as
software-store was never in a real release, there wasn't the need for
a transitional package.

Either way, it's not a bug with computer-janitor. software-store would
have been pulled in by its relationship to ubuntu-desktop. As it isn't
a dependency anymore, it's "apt-get autoremove"-able.
