@WubiNeophyte : Thanks for the work done here , I went through the list of the apps .
What you have listed are several problems , which will surely confound an average user. These do need to be dealt with. But they are not really duplicate listing of the apps , while some are bound to cause confusion , most of the apps have a different name within the brackets which is not surely enough. KDE/gnome/qt apps , hence multiple are present for each environment. [how do we deal with these? and not confuse the user] -Back In Time -GDebi Package Installer -Content Filter -Hardware Drivers -Language Support -Licq -Mailody -System Monitor -USB Startup Disk Creator -Qalculate KDE apps with different packages probably for the same app or is the second package for gnome , [same category as above]? -KImageMapEditor -KLinkStatus -KPlato -KPresenter -KSpread -KXSLDbg additional -data packages [why do these have to bother user , maybe we can hide them?] -KOffice -Krita -KWord 2 different packages but seem to be doing the same work only difference is the package name within the brackets -Xabacus -PCP Charts Totally different apps with the same name , only difference is the package name within the brackets. -Chess -Image Viewer -Terminal -Mines -Gnu Octave is just multiple versions as indicated within the brackets not a dup per-se. I'd suggest you open separate bugs for each of the issues. OTOH , I'v subscribed *Matthew Paul Thomas* , the lead designer of the software center. Such issues are the kind of bugs he is always looking out for and is interested in fixing/solving.
