Bug Description

There are still duplicates to be found in the Installed and Available categories in Applications lens.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open the Application lens
2) Search for a KDE-based application in the dash (which is installed on the system - for example Kate)
3) The application is in both Installed & Available cateogries - it should be only in Installed

There still seems to be a problem: two installed KDE applications were shown (Kate and Kile, which had a different icon), and also Unity 2D came up when searching for "Unity". All showed up as "Installed" in the Software Center when clicking on the icons.

We fixed this for KDE apps, but there are still some instances where we'll get a dupe (like Unity2d) because of SC's use of meta-packages.
