YES IT DOES.

Because if there is one thing that irritates me more than a bolshie
user who can't see what is in front of them, it's a user who can't see
what is in front of them and tells me I am wrong.

So I just fired up my VM with Raring installed - full clean install,
Unity, no extras - and tried it.

The first hit in Ubuntu Software Centre when I search for "Synaptic" is:

Synaptic Package Manager ***** (266)
Install, remove and upgrade software packages

And at the bottom of the screen, it says:

Show 8 technical items

In other words, it does EXACTLY what I have described and when you
keep telling people "you can't install Synaptic from the Ubuntu
Software Centre" you are wrong.
