      (useful for testing)
  * softwarecenter/backend/aptd.py:
    - make defaults for addons_{install,remove} empty lists instead
      of None to prevent crash when called with a empty argument
    - use AptClinet.install_packages() instead of commit_packages()
      for the install of commercial stuff to get the benefit of
      aptdaemons 03_auth_me_less patch

  * softwarecenter/backend/aptd.py:
    - if reload() fails when adding a commercial PPA that may be

      In this case, retry up to 5 minutes to get the repo
      (LP: #627608)
