Custom web browser protocol to install from apt-get

[Jason Taylor]

Klik uses a custom protocol klik:// to trigger installs

I was thinking a similar thing for apt-get would be cool, so in a web
page you could have a link to apt-get-install://banshee and that would
trigger asking for the sudo password and then install from the
existing repo list, could even ui it by tying into synaptic so you get
a pretty progress bar.

As a bonus maybe also apt-get-add-repo://

Another use, the applications web site could actully give a link for
installing the application instead of a "avalible in dapper repo"

Anybody else think this would be usefull, users would never have to
drop to command line you could have links on the howto page
instead.....
