Research direction

Start by tracing how mintinstall builds the Installed Applications list and handles package removal; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Done means packages installed from local deb files appear in that list and can be uninstalled through mintinstall.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

FEATURE REQUEST

It seems that currently, there are no packages that are installed from local deb files displayed in the Installed Applications list of mintinstall. Please, consider implementing this to allow easy uninstallation of such packages. I know that this can be done using Synaptic, but having this supported directly in mintinstall would be great, especially for new/inexperienced users.
