Title:
  Software-Center has no history about installed third party packages

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Software-Center do not record any history of change, installed,
  upgraded 3 party packages, like

  download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.6/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.6-82870~Ubuntu~quantal_amd64.deb

  , which was installed by doubleclick with Software-Center itself.

  Expected:
  --------------

  Software-Center should record a history on 3 party packages which it
  has installed by itself.

  Steps to reproduce:
  ---------------------------
  1.Download the package of virtualbox4.2.6 from the address given above.
  2.Open the Download folder with nautílus and double click on the virtualbox.deb
  3.See Software-Center starting and install the package
  4.Look in history of Software-Center and see no entries.
  5.Use the search function in the history and see no entries of virtualbox4.2.6
  6.Recognize that you are also unable to deinstall the package this way (->serious!).
