Title:
  Description of Ubuntu Software needs update

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When Ubuntu Software (package ubuntu-software) replaced Ubuntu
  Software Center (package software-center) in 16.04, we made some
  changes which focused on the new name.

  https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/addremove-install.html

  However, there is a limitation with Ubuntu Software compared to its
  predecessor: It shows and installs applications rather than packages,
  and thus various help tools cannot be installed through Ubuntu
  Software. A suitable GUI to browse and install packages is Synaptic
  (separate page already exists).

  An improved description of Ubuntu Software, including this limation,
  would be desired.
