I just remembered...
https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/

We could use this, right?
Just have a desktop file with

Exec=xdg-open https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/

And voila...  we do need an apt:// handler of course so we need
something like gdebi installed.
But, this would ensure that the user is online (i.e. can install apps)
and we don't have to do anything at all to make one.
Though... it wont take care of 'uninstalling' programs.
Maybe we can have an intermediary page that has something like:
Install new apps
Uninstall apps
Help
Uninstall apps, could be a simple zenity dialog that gets the list of
packages installed with checkboxes.
the user checks a box, and a confirm dialog pops-up
then if the user answers OK
it runs

sudo apt-get autoremove ${SELECTION[@]}

Thoughts?
