+later/uncertain:

- better blacklist editor
- ability to import/export blacklist?
+- possibility to force reinstall of an already installed package
+- fetch dates from other repositories than maemo.org?
+- support translations

-0.8:
- support loading .install files
- support installing local .debs
-- dbus interface for installing packages by name
- mime type handling for .install and .deb (can it be done without conflicting HAM?)
-- support translations
-
-later/any/uncertain:
-- fetch dates from other repositories than maemo.org?
-- fetch dates for other than user categories?
-- add an option to start fetching changelogs automatically for all upgradeable packages?
-- how to handle package names that end in '-'? (theoretically they are valid but nonexistent?)
-- ability to easily add extras-devel and extras-testing to repos if they don't exist
-- load package lists in the background when the main menu is visible?
-- warn about unauthenticated packages / option to disable installing unauthenticated packages
- show download speed and current repo for apt-get update (very hard to do since apt-get update output does not show
all the information needed to get the current list file names?)
-- "problem solver" feature (find broken packages, handle recovery from broken packages better)
-known bugs:

+known bugs/shortcomings:
- no window menu indicator in stacked windows (probably a Qt bug)
- updating menu icons after installation does not work or works only sometimes (currently disabled)
- does not warn about system upgrade?
- date fetching is quite slow with qt4.7
+- no way to edit the blacklist status of packages that are currently unknown
