Binary package hint: software-center

This is observable with software center 2.0.3 and the trunk branch as well.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Launch software center and the system monitor to watch the memory consumption
2) Click on the "Provided by Ubuntu" entry on the left, wait for the list to (re-)load

Repeat step 2 several times.

Expected result: the memory consumption increases the first time, then remains stable.

Current result: the memory consumption increases by approximately 12MB every time the list is re-loaded, and is never re-claimed. This eventually results in a very high memory consumption.
