Title:
Installed programs disappear from “What's new” and “Best rated”
sections after restarting USC

Status in “software-center” source package in Raring:

Bug description:
Ubuntu 12.04, USC 5.2.2.2
TEST CASE:
1. install quantal
2. install ubuntu-restricted-extas
3. open software-center and verify that ubuntu-restricted-extras is not in
the top-rated list
4. install software-center from quantal-proposed
5. open software-center and verify that ubuntu-restricted-extras is now
showing up in the top-rated list in the front page
Regression potential: low, its just a .menu-file change
I've installed an app which was in “What's new” category. Later on, after
restarting USC, I noticed the app I installed disappeared from “What's new”
list. I was confused because I wanted to review the app. Well, I thought,
probably there was a problem with the app and it was removed from USC. Tough
luck.
After few days I've installed another app from “What's new” list and again
noticed the app is no longer there after restarting USC. This time I thought it
can't be some coincidence. I've tested a little more and it looks like a bug in
USC.
The problem also affects apps listed in “Best rated” and “Recommended”
categories.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#whats-new>: "On the home
screen, the “What’s New” area should ... [be] excluding items that you
have already installed. ... A separate “What’s New” screen ... [should
list applications] regardless of whether they are installed."
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#top-rated>: "On the home
screen, the “Top Rated” area should ... [list items] regardless of
whether they are installed ... A separate “Top Rated” screen ...
[should also list items] regardless of whether they are installed."
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter/Recommendations#Displaying>:
"The full set of recommendations should be, out of all software not
currently installed, either the strongest 60 recommendations or all
those with a confidence value of X or higher — whichever is fewer."
