If only power users are expected to install packages that require
unauthenticated packages as dependencies, perhaps those packages should
not be listed in the Ubuntu Software Center to begin with.

For example, if you try to install ubuntu-restricted-extras through
software-center, then you get a warning about w32codecs not being able
to be authenticated. Great. Why is ubuntu-restricted-extras listed in
the Software Center at all, then?

Anything listed in the Software Center should be installable through the
Software Center. Anything not installable through the Software Center
shouldn't be listed there.
