Bug Description

If you open a "package page" with embedded video in USC, you'll notice video looks like it doesn't fit there. Just under the player there is a white frame and it looks different to embedded images.
I propose this should look the same as embedded image, so it should have the same border around it.

#SCREENSHOTS
If you open a "package page" on the web, you will be able to browse all available images of the application. On the other hand, USC is limited only to 3 images. There should be at least arrows on the left and right sides of the preview bar so user would be able to browse all images.

#Links
I also think email and web links should be different. Now there is no difference between them (email is labeled as "Developer Web Site").

+ Software available for free (even though it is a proprietary thing) should always be available for download through standard "Download" button instead of "Buy" button. (You don't buy free things).

As to video, it should possible be included between screenshots (like on Google Play). In this case however, USC may look poor.

Ps. I like USC and I would really like to see it improved. That's why I've posted some proposals on brainstorm.ubuntu.com
I am looking forward to see USC grow.

The screenshot navigation, links, and "Buy" issues should be separated out into their own bug reports.
