Title:
  Installing packages manually is slow

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Installing debian packages manually via Software Center is too slow.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Double-click a .deb package in Nautilus
  2) Wait for USC to open
  3) Click install when the package details is shown

  What should happen:
  The actual install process (starting when user clicks the install button) should be about
  as fast as installing the package in the terminal with sudo dpkg -i [package].

  What happens instead:
  On my machine USC is 4-5 times slower than plain dpkg. I used my own game as a test application:
  dpkg -i: 4 secs
  USC: 20 secs (time elapsed since the install button was clicked and password given)

  I repeated this several times with similar results.

  The test application (dustrac):
