I see, you have a point there. In that case I'd actually prefer to just
merge/amend the 02 patch in an -XubuntuY version (and keep it as Synaptic in the
-X version) so we don't bump it to Synaptic and then bump it back to apturl. It
just feels weird.

I noticed that aptdaemon is packaged in Debian. Does aptdaemon trigger its own
user interface for auto-installing stuff, or does the application using it have
to create its own UI?
