Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

Ubuntu Software Center shows 2 Adobe Flash Plugin entries, when only one of them is the Adobe Flash Plugin.

Ubuntu 10.10
Ubuntu Software Center 3.0.5

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Ubuntu Software Center
2. Type in [adobe flash]

What I expected to happen:
- To get 1 result for Adobe Flash Player

What happened instead:
- I got two results:
- - One with the actual Adobe Flash Player ("Adobe Flash plugin").
- - One named "Adobe Flash Plugin 10", which was the one I clicked to, which lead me to an apparently useless dialog about authentication or something.

Since the system has to provide value to the user, I understand that this second entry named "Adobe Flash Plugin 10" should be removed from the search results of Ubuntu Software Center.
