Yes, well, it's possible I'm under some sort of spell. But I tried switching
off the privacy control, in case by some peculiar chain of logic that was
relevant, but it still wasn't there. There's 'Legal Notice' at the bottom
right, but nothing at the bottom left. In any case, to return to the
original query, it remains a fact that if Synaptic was available in any of
the categories of the Software Center, including 'Technical Items' if such a
thing exists, then a general search from the search box would find it, and
it doesn't. That is why people have to use the terminal to obtain Synaptic.
YES IT DOES.
Because if there is one thing that irritates me more than a bolshie
user who can't see what is in front of them, it's a user who can't see
what is in front of them and tells me I am wrong.
So I just fired up my VM with Raring installed - full clean install,
Unity, no extras - and tried it.
The first hit in Ubuntu Software Centre when I search for "Synaptic" is:
Synaptic Package Manager ***** (266)
Install, remove and upgrade software packages
And at the bottom of the screen, it says:
Show 8 technical items
In other words, it does EXACTLY what I have described and when you
keep telling people "you can't install Synaptic from the Ubuntu
Software Centre" you are wrong.

You have a regrettable tendency to personalise everything. It would be
simpler, and less offensive, to accept that for some reason we're
looking at different versions of the Software Center, or different
'pages' in it, so to speak.
