Bug Description
The Ubuntu Software Center replaces Gdebi in 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, however the option to open deb files from within the user interface appears to be absent.
I propose adding an "Open" or "Open Package" or something similar and intuitive to, at least, the File menu.
I have linked this to a question that I feel shows clearly how confusing this is for users.
