This bug did become invalid in karmic due to design changes made before
karmic was released (as the install view was no longer categorised and
all categories in the 'get software' view were not empty). However with
the introduction of subcategories in lucid this issue has been
reintroduced.

This issue seems to have been fixed in the latest stable release of
Ubuntu.
Due to a different design this is no longer an issue.

So for version 2.0 I can think of three design solutions:
1. An extension of the current behavior. Departments with no available items
are still displayed, but navigating to one shows only the centered text "No
items are available in this department."
+ Simple.
+ No performance penalty.
Its not entirely trivial to do that, because it means quering the xapian
database for each category on startup (something we do only on-demand
now). The xapian.Enquire class supports get_mset() with maxitems=0 to
get only a quick approximation of the result. That may be something
useful.
