I had this great idea to enhance the Synaptic package manager. A modification that queries the ratings for each package from Freshmeat, and displays them next to the package description inside of the Synaptic window. That way people can easily scan through those large lists and pick out stuff that other users like, without guessing or doing research into whether or not it's a cool program. Whatcha think?

I think it would be a nice plugin. If Synaptic doesn't have a plugin architecture, a plugin architecture would be a nice feature to add to Synaptic.
More important to me, since I'm on dial-up, is a "pause" button in the downloading window.
