[packagekit] packagekit Debian backend has issues.

[Daniel Nicoletti]

BTW, if you try KPackageKit0Apper with AppInstall data mode set on
you can get real Applications in the results, that that requires additional data.

But regarding the Debian issue: You should be able to use Ubuntu
packages on Debian, maybe this helps. (The SC and AptD pkgs should
work on Debian)
It is weird that the SC in Debian is not updated... Is package
maintained by some team or by a single dev? 
>>It is maintained by a single dev. I plan to help out there. The problem isn't only the outdated aptdaemon package but also some
hardcoded bits in the latest software-center. @matthias: The Ubuntu packages won't work. @de: If you want to install a system for novice users please don't use
unstable or testing. What are you missing from the software-center
version in Squeeze? It seems to make it job well. If you want to have an
"always" up-to-data desktop distro - use Ubuntu. Cheers, Sebastian

Thanks man!! Atleast I'll be glad.

    missing enhancements a lot of which are critical.
