Public bug reported:
Open gnome-software and search for darktable (or any package that exists
as a snap, a deb, and a flatpack).
You will find 2 entries for darktable in the list. One entry bundles the
deb and the flatpack, letting you choose one from a drop down menu. The
other entry lists the snap, alone.
If the functionality already exists to bundle menu entries, then snaps
should take advantage of it.
In cases where the list is long (search Zoom as an example), one entry
may be at the top and the other only visible if you scroll down quite a
way.
Not bundling all options into a single entry obfuscates choice and
reduces clarity/findability.
** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Attachment added: "Showing that Flatpacks & debs already bundle together and
snaps do not"
