Like I told you, I think that what you're aiming to do here really is
packagekit. If you think about it, it will never be as simple as you'd
like it to be anyway. Designing API, jobs. You only want to install?
Or also delete?

As an alternative, we can work on the "muon-discover  --application
orca" use-case. It will spawn a full application, but at least the
user will be knowing what he's installing. Maybe even creating a
muon-cli, but I don't really think we want to expose API from muon.

PS: A good GSoC would be to make sure that Appstream can finally be
adopted properly in Kubuntu
