Yeah, but as you said, they are only visible when you are on the main "Get
software" category, not when you browse "installed software" or
subcategories like "For purchase" and other repositories. Isn't this a
rather strange design choice? Isn't it confusing for the end user if it's
only visible sometimes and not always? If have a downloaded package opened
and accidentally press "Installed software" I have no idea how to get back
to the package because the interface isn't giving me the proper hints.
