State of software-center



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

It appears that software-center will be shipping as the default GUI
package manager for gnome (the default desktop task). Its state in
Debian feels very incomplete, due to missing icons and the help that
gives bad/false advice.

Example:
"If you are familiar with reporting bugs in software, you can help out
by reporting the problem to the Ubuntu developers. Most programs have a
Report a Problem item in their Help menu."

Debian users should report problems in Debian to Debian BTS. I have yet
to see one of these "Report a Problem" items in a help menu, so I can
only assume it is a specific Ubuntu added patch to applications.

AFICT, the icons used are part of the icon themes, so #592289 this is an
overall desktop issue (or specifically a software-center issue if it
should not be using the system's icons).

I would really like to see these issues resolved for the upcoming
release. Unfortunately, I am by no means an artist, and would not be
create the icons myself to resolve the bug. The bug in particular also
falls under the definition of "minor", would an exception even be
granted for such a bug?

What is everyone elses thoughts?

Regards,
