Yeah, I think you're right.  I agree with dBera, though: the different
package filters should derive from a common class if we want to display
them on a single tile in the UI.  Functionally the deb filter looks
fine.  I can commit it, but do you want to refactor it, the RPM filter,
and possibly the EBuild filter to have a common superclass?
