1. Start Oneiric iso in KVM (eg using testdrive)

5. Select a universe package (eg 7zip)
6. Instead of updating the previously enabled universe package list automatically, software center offers the user to "Use this Source" (referring to universe source)

This is inconsistent behavior and might be confusing for the user, since they already activated the universe sources. Moreover, in previous Ubuntu releases (I am running Maverick), software-center used to automatically update package list when sources changed.
