I have a couple questions here:

1. Any chance this decision can be turned into an "expert mode" option or
something like that, so experienced users can get access to ubuntu packages
through Discover after being informed about the dangers (think the way Firefox
warns you upon visiting a suspicious site)

2. If the problem lies with Oracle, then why is it that krunner is able to find
virtualbox and offer me the option to install it? Where is it fetching that
info?

Thanks
