I started reviewing the branch, it looks great, lots of good work. I would love to tweak it a bit before it goes into trunk, like I would love to e.g. get rid of softwarecenter/enums.py:USE_PACKAGEKIT_BACKEND and USE_APT_HISTORY there and move that into the distro classes or add auto-detection for it. The icon-names in historypane.py will need a bit of thought too to make it compatible on both PK and aptdaemon systems. Purchase should also be controlled as part of the distro class. I love your use of "platform.linux_distribution()", I wasn't aware of it before, a beautiful solution. I hope to work some more on this before the weekend, I want this in trunk soon and then we can make a release with it. I'm excited about it. Thanks!
