Use Case:

Today, I discovered "auovia" in gnome-software:
http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-05-16_002_1200x1011.png

Before installing it, I'd like to take note of its package name. Since
gnome-software doesn't provide that information, I attempted to find it
myself:

user@pc:~$ sudo apt-get install audovia
[sudo] password for user: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package audovia
user@pc:~$ apt-cache search audovia
user@pc:~$ apt-cache search "audovia"

As you can see, none of these efforts returned the package-name. I shouldn't 
have to do a google search to discover what package gnome-software will be 
installing onto my computer when I click the "Install" button. This information 
should be in the "Details" sections shown here:
