Ubuntu 11.10
Open Ubuntu Software Centre. Click "View" in menu bar, then "Canonical Maintained Software" this hides the paid software and other software titles not officially maintained by Ubuntu.
The ad still shows "Trauma" in it's rotation and allows you to click on it through to it's summary page and allows you to purchase.
When you go back to the main home screen by clicking "All Software" from the Trauma summary page, the non canonical software is still hidden. This differs to how it would work if you were to search for "Braid" while showing only canonical software. The search suggests it shows you the 1 non-canonical maintained software that matches the search. Advancing to Braid's summary page from here, and then clicking "All Software" now shows all software, not just that from Canonical.

Kyle, thanks for the report. A trivial fix would be to simply not show the banners for non-Main applications, falling back to the "Our star apps" banner if that leaves zero others.
However, which software is Canonical-
