I'm accepting this as a paper cut because I can confirm that this description could be better. However, please notice that 'usermode' is not used by Ubuntu, and therefore it shouldn't show up in the Software Centre if you wouldn't take a look at the 'technical packages', hidden under a link at the bottom of the page.

Sense, this does show up in the Software Centre, with the graphical applications "Password", "About Myself" and "Disc Management".

@Sense and @Michael,

This seems to be the same in 11.10. It is the same as the original bug description.

@Michael, are you currently working on this?

Thanks
Paul Stewart

I disagree. Basically your just saying remove that names of the programs from the description. This is silly it adds no value. But removes useful information, its important to know the names of these apps to be able to launch them from the command line.
