Comment 3 for bug 275942

Actually the user does not care if PackageKit is a framework or not and how the software is shipped. The menu items are a completely different aspect. You don't see a tarball/menu item relation in the menu.

You should either make the user interface case sensitive, so showing the important application when the user needs it, or group them by functionality to provide a smooth workflow. But the first one seems quite hard to implement.

Matthew Paul Thomas the ui expert of Canonical always pushed for a single application which handles updates, repositories, applications and packages to avoid scattering.

In case of the log viewer: The user would search for a log in the place where he or she installed or removed software before and not in a completely different menu category.

Also the behavior of updates should be configurable in the updating application.

Cheers,
