Should support apt-url

[Jorge Castro]

Binary package hint: evolution

If someone mails me a link with apt://epiphany or whatever then that should work in evolution like it does on other apps on the desktop.

you want to install packages by clicking on an email? seems to be an easy door to track user in spam tricks

[Jorge Castro (jorge)]

This is just apt-url support, like we have in the browser (and empathy
seems to know what to do as well), I don't mean to imply random
installation support, just pass off the url to the package manager
like the other desktop apps do.
