Hi!
That is not the fault of PackageKit, the compat layer is wrong and Ubuntu does some extremely crappy things, e.g. forcing the PyApt-backend in Ubuntu-Drivers, which is totally broken and has been removed (again) from distribution. (We weren't able to ship it in Debian with RC bugs)
Btw, Aptdaemon is *not* much more modern than PK ;-) There's only one advantage of Aptd at time, and we're working on PK to solve this issue. (However, Aptd can expose some advanced Apt features on DBus, which PK can't, but that is irrelevant for Software Centers) - Of course, read this as an opinion of a PackageKit developer. ;-)
I'll send message to ubuntu-drivers, so they can fix their dependencies and probably add possible missing features to Aptcc.
If you have further questions, please ask (I'm subscribed here now)
Cheers,
