Title:
  Screen for standalone .deb package doesn't look scarier than normal

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Software Centre 4.1.15, Ubuntu Ocelot
  software-center-gtk3 trunk 2114, Ubuntu Ocelot

  1. Download a standalone .deb package, such as Opera. http://www.opera.com/browser/download/
  2. Open the package in USC.

  What you see: Apart from the lack of icon, it looks just like a normal package screen.
  What you should see: "Its visual design should hint that this is a little less safe than installing a package from a repository. " <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#gdebi>
