Outstanding issues
HiddeBrugmans - Do we really want any user to be able to install random packages from random internet sites? People will quite easily mess up their systems this way, and both autopackage and klik have drawbacks. It's not feasible to have *anything* on earth in universe, but we should take care not to turn ubuntu into a system that can easily be 'polluted'
