I think if you're hearing anything it is your own grind stone. The truth will set you free.
From:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html
"The Debian package management system has a rich history and many choices for the front end user program and back end archive access method to be used."
From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaptic_(software)
"In October 2009, when the Ubuntu Software Center became available, Synaptic and other utilities were to be replaced by the Ubuntu Software Center in an unspecified future version of Ubuntu.[1] In Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot, Synaptic has been removed from the default installation, but remains available as a package in the repository."
