Could there be an option to switch to synaptic from the software center? It's rather irritating to find out the package I'm looking for is in the repositories, but is not shown in the software center; if I've just installed something, I still have root privileges, but to run synaptic I'd have to redundantly authenticate again.

No biggie if this is out of the question due to security concerns, but as it stands the software center lacks many packages that are available to synaptic.
