SHUDDER! If my vote counts at all, I'd definitely say to ditch the Squeeze version of software-centre as anything default! Ubuntu Maverick's version is half-baked IMHO, so I can imagine what this one looks like. Last time I checked it looked like the one in Karmic, and Big Bang help is if that is so! Please reconsider and use Synaptic instead! It's way more mature and at least has most of the options a beginner and slightly more advanced users would need. You can then pull in a more recent and decent version of it into Sid and test it for the next release.
