           Summary: 1-Click Install does not support Debian-based

When searching for packages for an RPM-based distribution, the package search
provides a "1-Click Install" link, that registers the respective package
repository in the user's collection of package installation sources.

The same happens when searching for packages for Debian-based distributions.
However, they usually don't know how to handle the provided YMP file. In order
to reach the same functionality (subscribing to a certain package repository),
a user has to follow the instructions outlined here:

http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Debian_builds#Configuring_sources.list

This process is cumbersome and far away from a 1-Click solution.

For now, I would suggest to remove the "1-Click Install" link when a user
searches for Debian packages, as it only adds confusion. In the long term, it
would be nice if a functional 1-Click installation mechanism for Debian-based
systems would be provided.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search for a package for a Debian-based distribution
2. Click on the "1-Click Install" link
3. Observe it does not do what the user would expect.


Expected Results:  
When clicking "1-Click Install" from a Debian-based system, I would expect the
respective package repository to be added to my /etc/apt/sources.list file and
the package in question to be installed automatically.

Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/one-click-installer/ - maybe it would
help to facilitate this?
