Bug Description

If you manually download a .deb package and install it with the Software Centre, it shows the message "You need to install this before you can review it". That message is there whether or not the package is installed.

Assumedly, you cannot leave a review because it isn't in the software sources, so Ubuntu does not have it registered to be able to leave/display review. This message is incorrect. Either the review section should disappear entirely, or the message should say "You cannot leave a review for an application you downloaded manually".
