A front end is a front end is a front end.
It's capable of controlling any program that has a user interface that
coincides with a certain subset of dpkg's user interface.
Claiming that this makes the front end a legal deriviate of any random
program it can control is suspiciously close to claiming an interface
copyright. In a wierd, backwards way, but an interface copyright
nevertheless.
