Where they are English phrases (e.g. not package names), software item titles and summaries look best if their first word is capitalized.

If the title and summary are derived from a .desktop file, they are already capitalized.

If they are from a synopsis, however, Debian policy is that they should *not* have their first word capitalized.

Therefore, Ubuntu Software Center should capitalize them.
