Yesterday Canonical finally gave a name to their latest application center. It is now called “Ubuntu Software Store” and package’s name is software-store. It will be the major handling of Ubuntu’s overall software. At the moment packages affected by software-store are:
aptoncd, computer-janitor, computer-janitor-gtk, gdebi, gnome-app-install, software-properties-gtk, software-store, synaptic, update-manager
In the future it will grow to replace Synaptic, gdebi, some parts of the Computer Janitor, and possibly Update Manager (This is an official statement, not my opinion! :) ). However this is not going to be archived at the upcoming release, Ubuntu Karmic Koala.
To contribute to the development, you can read the official wiki.
