Bug Description
[TEST CASE]
1. open software-center
2. ensure that the word "anonymous" is in the text of the panel on the the bottom of the lobby page in the "Recommended for you" text
3. install software-center from precise-proposed
4. close/reopen software-center, verify that this time the word "anonymous" is no longer there
5. for bonus points switch to a different well translated language to ensure that the string is still translated
[Regression Potential]
Risk of regression is very low. The only regression potential would be if this string has not been translated to a given language. In that case, it will appear in English. However, we uploaded this new string to rosetta well before Precise final even, so it has had many weeks to be translated, and the translations were released with the first Precise language packs update weeks ago.

We need to remove the word "anonymous" from the opt-in panel text, per mpt's comment #5 in bug 967064:
https:/
We need to do this because we currently require the user to have an SSO account and to be logged into it so that they can receive personalized recommendations. Given that, even though the list of uploaded packages is not tracked in any way, it is nevertheless not accurate to use the word "anonymous" in the opt-in text,
