Bug Description
This is somewhat of a speculative bug since this behaviour may be intended.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Software Center
2. Select the History panel
3. Select the 'Installations' tab
Expected result:
Tab shows only packages installed specifically by the user
Actual result:
Tab shows all packages installed in the system, including by the initial install

I can confirm this, and I agree that something like "Installed Ubuntu" instead of the whole packagelist isntalled by the initial install would be more appropriate, and even required if we are tending towards the application-based history [1].
