Description
when browsing the repositories using synaptic, the libraries, doxumentations, localization packages, etc. are adding a lot of visual clutter, and makes browsing the catalog much more difficult.

please add an option to hide libraries/ localizations, etc. and show only applications.

add/remove programs does not have all the application in the repositories listed, therefore it is not a solution.
