--- Comment #2 from Daniel Stone <daniel at fooishbar.org> ---
Yes, we'd want to encourage Synaptic to fix their architecture. If you look at,
e.g. GNOME Software, that uses PackageKit as a privileged backend and runs the
UI unprivileged. I'm pretty sure the same is true of the KDE equivalent.

As Pekka says, this is quite a dangerous thing to be doing.
