Thanks for the suggestion, negora. I've updated the design spec to
include this as a small feature anyone can contribute.

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
+ software-center 4.0.1, Ubuntu 11.04
  
  It's not bug but a request. I know that you may open DEB packages if
  Ubuntu Software Center is associated to the DEB mime type, just with a
  double-click on the file. However, I believe that it would be desirable
  to have such option from the Software Center menu itself.
