Bug Description
In synaptic categories having a section for each category with a different section for Universe, multiverse and main is quite confusing. Universe / multiverse / main are actually filters rather than catgories. In any case if at all the should exist, it should be as subcategories and not different categories.
My personal sugeestion would be to have 3 checkboxes somewhere at the top / side top for Main, Universe, Multiverse, and then their values should be respected while performing a search or going to a category.
Alternatively, the the pane where packages are displayed with columns like S, Package name, Latest version etc. Another column can be added saying "License" which displays against each package if it is in main, universe or multiverse or restricted.
