I say its time to dump lubuntu software center for deepin software center

[Mr Wislr]

Sorry phil, reread your email, and i see that your speaking of lubuntu
in general not necessarily the software center... i get the time it
takes to make it to the official repos... maybe we should just keep an
eye on deepin or maybe rewrite lubuntu software center in the same way..
