I don't think selectively blacklisting apps in the GUI search interface in a semi arbitrary way is a feasible solution. Yes, it is a legacy app but also very popular and widely used. I would be genuinely annoyed to find that the package I want is in the repository but the nice graphical interface decided that I shouldn't be shown it. > How would anybody not familiar with gpk-application imagine that by > removing a CD/DVD burner that doesn't work, namely Brasero, he'll also > remove a very valuable application for listening to music (Rhythmbox) and, > by the same occasion, also remove sound-juicer, which I know little about, > but I suppose could be useful for other applications? They get a listing of dependencies that are removed *before* removing them. Should be carefully checking that list. One possible improvement is a description of the dependencies along side the names. However if you install or particulary remove packages blindly then I am afraid tools cannot really be used to workaround that problem.
