I agree with that - the only issue is that the offline-updates stuff
is somewhat hard.wired there, and maybe making it work is the easier
way to go forward, although we will certainly run into issues there,
e.g. in case there are Debconf questions raised during the
offline-update (I didn't investigate what happens in that case).
In any case, not an ideal situation :-/ That GNOME moved crucial
functionality into GNOME-Software so fast was really a bad idea IMHO.

Cheers,
