A version of the Ubuntu Software center for Trisquel would definitely be a nice addition. I'm not sure this is as important though as having newer set of base applications and better integration of those packages. I think it is still best to continue on the Ubuntu path for the target user base. There may very well come a time in the next 3-5 years where reverting to Debian will make more sense and/or become necessary. As I have said before I'm not confident Canonical has a workable business plan and Mark Shuttleworth has said he won't fund it indefinitely. They seem to be taking the path traveled by other commercial distros in that there is no clear business model. While I can understand trying different things they have switched from a model that focuses on the desktop, to one that focuses on the server, to one that focuses on smart phones/tablets/TVs/etc. From a development perspective that is not going to coincide well with the desktop.
