Bug#597827: Acknowledgement (gnome depends on software-center, WTF?)

I tried and installed it again today and my inpressions about it still 
have not changed:

- It is an ubuntu'ism and contains marketing blabber ("Featured 
Applications", sigh) on start up.
- It feels alien to both Debian and Gnome (especially its private 
breadcrumb navigation).
- It requires just another apt-frontend, aptdaemon.
- It requires the bloated app-install-data package.
- It does not add much value to the default graphical apt frontend, 
synaptic (it just sorts packages differently).
- It does only provide feature-parity with synaptic if update-manager 
and software-properties-gtk are also installed...
and even then, we already have synaptic, so what's it purpose?

Sorry, this is only my personal impression of this software and I just 
can't make friends with it.
