Public bug reported: The names of a packages (as you would type them when installing via a command prompt) are not indicated in gnome-software.
Even when I use gnome-software to locate a package, I still want to know the package's official Ubuntu name, because I usually want to add that package-name to an command install list (sudo apt-get install package1 package2 package3), so that I can install all my packages at once the next time I do a fresh install. That fact that gnome-software can locate packages for me is great. The fact that it doesn't reveal the official name of the packages is lacking (for me).
