Well, I don't think this is a dupe, as it may actually be quite helpful
to have a "real" package-manager. If there wasn't a big BUT: It's not
yet clear if Muon will be ported to Qt-5, and I'm not sure if it's good
to use it in combination with Plasma-Discover. Since one relies in APT
and the other in Appstream.

Kubuntu has been undergoing quite numberous changes since I'm using it.
So since I originally came from Gnome-Ubuntu with 7.04 - I were/am
sticking with Synaptics as a package-manager (certainly as it was stable
then and me not ready for commandline).

And I can only second the idea of making it more clear that, there is a
different option, than a shopping-mall for APPS.

I would not think think it's a good idea, to have it installed as
default, but I do think this can be pretty well approached from the side
of documentation [1]. As it's a similar situation in Ubuntu with the
Software-Center, and Synaptics was removed from the 'Default-
Installation' we could really peek into their documentation and adopt
that.

synaptic.html

Hence I'm still interested in other opinions, especially from the a
packagers view-point. I am close to to answering this from my experience
since it's been following the KDE-style (Vanilla).
