Title:
  Navigating to item via search or "What's New" doesn't show its
  department/subsection

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

Bug description:
  software-store trunk r216, Ubuntu Karmic
  Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.15, Ubuntu Lucid

  1. From the main "Get Software" screen, search for "inks".
  2. Navigate to the "Inkscape" result.
  3. Look at the path button.

  What you see: "Get Software > Search Results > Inkscape Vector Graphics Editor"
  What you should see: "Get Software > Graphics > Drawing > Inkscape Vector Graphics Editor".

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#get-software-item>:
  "Whenever a software item screen is being displayed in the “Get Software” section:
  "* If the item was navigated to via a department/subsection, the path button should consist of elements for “Get Software”, then that department, then the subsection if any, then the title of the item.
  "* In any other case (for example, if the item is accessed from a search), the path button should consist of elements for “Get Software”, then the primary department to which the item belongs, then the primary subsection if any, then the title of the item."

  In user testing of USC on 2010-12-15, this showed up as a moderate
  usability problem: participants navigated to a "Featured" or "What's
  New" application from the main screen, then installed it without
  knowing what kind of application it was.
