"Synaptic Package Manager" - Perhaps a more obvious name?

[Tristan Rhodes]

I just wanted to suggest using a more intuitive name for "Synaptic Package Manager".  The main 
reason is that non-linux users will not understand that "package"="software application".

Perhaps something like...

"Add/Remove/Update Software"
"Install/Remove/Update Applications"

Or any other name, along the same idea.

Most users do not need to know the name of the application "Synaptic". For instance, on the menu 
system do we tell users that the file-browser is "Nautilus", the Text Editor is "gEdit", "Four in a 
Row" is "Gnect", or that the Calculator is "Gcalctool"?  I don't see the value of including the name 
Synaptic (even though I agree that it is a cool name).
