Bug Description
software-center 1.1.12, Ubuntu 10.04
It could be useful to hide transitional packages, so that unexperienced users don't install them thinking it's an additional software
The Software Updater equivalent is bug 1166230.

That seems like a good idea. Two questions:
1. How can we tell, programmatically, which packages are transitional?
2. Who would ever want to see transitional packages, and when?
