Bug Description

Hi,

When looking for an app' it's quite confusing it's listed twice ( or more ), one on top of the list and one at end of the list.

I can think of 2 ways for ending confusion.

1. Add the packaging type to name of app
https://snapforum.s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/d/d3e2afef29ed6c82f7f639c45a9710412f196d9d.jpeg
and stop putting the legacy .deb package at the end. Its fair position is at first or second in the list.

2. Only show one item for an app ( instead of one item by type of packaging )
and then give the choice of packaging type on the installation page

Better solution in my opinion.

This a mainly to avoid people installing without knowing the type of package.

As it is today the package info is available too late and at the bottom of the page.
