(Get the code!)
sessioninstaller is dead, please do not revive it. If you don't like gnome-software, you are welcome to write another PackageKit frontend. Check with Xubuntu if they agree with you. It shouldn't be _too_ hard.
Our goal is still to get rid of aptdaemon. We are not able to support it, it's rotten. We can't really commit on removing it atm either, though.
PackageKit is also bit messy to future wise, as upstream primary maintainer says it's no longer being developed; but nobody has written a replacement yet, and not everyone agrees with the statement. Our goal is to get an apt daemon eventually, but it needs to go back to the drawing board and time needs to be found to write it.
Note that if you want to have a different installer tool for that, you also need to have a gnome-software replacement for normal installing, as gnome-software also installs the session handler.
