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?
