Bug Description

In Software Center, all DesktopNova extensions should appear in the Add-ons list of DesktopNova. Currently only desktopnova-module-xfce appears, but desktopnova-module-gnome and desktopnova-tray do not appear in the add-ons list. Probably the packaging information control file is missing an Enhances section for the packages mentioned above.

According to the specs at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Add-on%20packages, the desktopnova-tray and dektopnova-module-gnome should already appear in the Add-ons list, because the control file of the desktopnova package specifies Recommends: desktopnova-module-gnome | desktopnova-module-xfce, desktopnova-tray, so this should be a software-center bug, reassigning to software-center project.

summary: - desktopova-tray should enhance desktopnova
+ desktopova-tray should appear as a desktopnova add-on
affects: desktopnova (Ubuntu) → software-center (Ubuntu)

After investigating this I have found that desktopnova-tray and desktopnova-module-gnome do not show up as addons because they will get automatically installed when installing desktopnova, but this still seems to be a bug, because just hiding the "addons" that will get installed by default with the application does not seem right.
