Synaptic installs packages; the installation part of this is already
trivial.  However, there is a second step: choosing to use the proprietary
driver in place of the open source one.  This is done with a simple
command-line tool.

You said that you felt this should be possible without any command-line
knowledge, so the obvious step would be to provide an alternative to the
existing command-line tool.
