Software Cannot Be Uninstalled from the Software Update Notification Window

In the Android Market when I am presented an app update there is an uninstall button as well.
This often makes me go "oh I forgot that app was installed, I'll go ahead and uninstall it" or "I don't want that update, I'd rather uninstall that app" or "I didn't realize that application was installed and I don't need it so I'll remove it to save bandwidth and disk space."
Solution #2:
Right-click menu item
Right-click on the package you want to remove, and then click on "Remove Package" in the menu.
This would be a less cluttersome solution.
After selecting "Remove Package" it would warn you of any other changes needed to be made (such as removing dependent packages) and then recalculate the update.

Solution #3:
Add a "View in Software Centre" button

I propose to add a link to that package in the Ubuntu Software Centre. That way, if you don't remember what the package was for, or if you wanted to remove it, or if you wanted to rate the package or comment on it, or anything else, you could click this "View in Software Centre" option, and do what you want there.
This option could be added in a right click menu, or as a button, or whatever seems most fit.

Solution #4:
Combine solution 1 and 3: Both "uninstall"- and "view in software center"-button

Let the user easily remove a package, or choose to get more info/rate etc from Software center.
