New Packages are not directly visible, only when going through the whole list.

Solution: Add a new filter to only sort out new packages.

    Adding a button manual was no problem, but adding it via glade created some problems. Either someone should look into this issue and add this filter via glade or I will directly code in the source. Also I started working on this option, but now I first need to find our more libapt-pkg (How it works), to see if there is some function that can be used for this.

    Also you can't see which packages are now obsoletes and should be removed. This is something we should try to implement soon.

    I wanted to take a closer look at libapt-pkg but had not much time. But it looks like there's no real function which we could use. There's some code to mark packages as new which could be used for this, but there's seems to be no code to define obsolete packages. Seems like we need to look at the source of dselect to see how it's done there to find a good solution.
