One thing I noticed about the screenshot here...

...it's got the category thing going on while displaying all packages,
not just the top-level apps in gnome-app-install-data. It would take a
lot of doing to get lib packages to go fit into categories like
top-level apps.
So unfortunately, it still looks like it's going to have to be a
Synaptic or an Add/Remove Programs style interface or an inclusion of
both (advanced/simple view).

Besides that technicality, it's a very clean interface and easy to
understand almost at first glance. I think we'll have to strive for
that kind of simplicity in the Keryx 1.0 interface while still
including all the features necessary in a portable package manager.
