It would be followed in some way by Nautilus, establishing the DefaultPackage 
MIME parameter. The problem is when you open Gnome and click in a *.deb file .  
There is not established a default program to manage the package. 

The same can happen in Fedora.

This is paradoxical, when in Gnome the user can establish default optional 
services (i.e. for email, web and so on) and not the the default package system 
(i.e., *.deb in Debian).

Done.

But still there is a main problem: I cannot connect to the Internet to download 
the packages. So, if I have not got the packages, I cannot connect to the 
Internet. It is a circle. One talked about create a list of installed packages 
and packages to install in Debian (in my unconnected Debian computer) and using 
the web, download them (i.e. using Windows) a and install them in my Debian 
computer.

This is going to be great !!!.

We can help to improve it ;) If you want, you can join the PackageKit email 
list.

:-( I am a newbie and I cannot do it, but I would like to. I think is an 
improvement for both, Synaptic and Gnome.
