Oops! I honestly didn't notice that.
That's what I was looking for.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to add that to the "View" drop-down menu. For
those who overlook the "show technical items" button, that would be the
next menu to look in.
Again, sorry for the confusion, I probably thought the UI element was
just a label and ignored it without realising it.

Thanks!

Title:
  Feature req: menu to allow switching to the full Synaptic Package
  Manager

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Could there be an option to switch to synaptic from the software
  center? It's rather irritating to find out the package I'm looking for
  is in the repositories, but is not shown in the software center; if
  I've just installed something, I still have root privileges, but to
  run synaptic I'd have to redundantly authenticate again.

  No biggie if this is out of the question due to security concerns, but
  as it stands the software center lacks many packages that are
  available to synaptic.
