The fix is indeed in Natty, maybe it should be backported.

Title:
  Some "technical items" are not so technical

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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?
