I guess the report is fine, only the packaging metadata of either the
banshee or the package containing the magnatune extension must be
changed, thus this seems to be an issue with one of those packages, but
I'm not sure which one of them, thus I'll reassign it to banshee, and
somebody from there will hopefully help us with that and reassign to
another project if it's the case.
** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => banshee (Ubuntu)

Title:
Some "technical items" are not so technical
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: software-center
Typical example: I just installed Banshee. I was using Rhythmbox, and the Magnatune option. I want to install it in Banshee, as it's missing. I open the software center, and simply type "Magnatune". There are a few results, but nothing related to Banshee. I didn't look into the "technical items" as I thought it would never be there. Why would this option to add a new music provider be "technical"? And as I discovered afterwards, it was actually in those technical items.
To me, the "technical items" term is a quite misleading in this case. I don't think newbies will try to click on this option if they are looking for a new functionnality. And they will be left thinking that there is no option to do that with the software when in fact it was just a few clicks away.
I don't know what is the perfect solutions, maybe make a difference between the actual technical items and the "add-ons" like this?
