I understand that separation helps with confusion, but an option can't hurt, right?
Mayyybe... But you could run apt-get update with the same parameters than fapman does as a workaround (you can get those from the log).

It's not supposed to remember it, because there's an option to set the default sort order.

Looks like a broken python package somewhere...

Version 0.6.4

* show user/hidden category apps in the list of installed apps (remove only)
* show "recommends" and "suggests" in package dependencies if there are any
* check rootfs and opt free space on startup and warn if low
* option to disable automatic catalog updates
* option to start fetching changelogs immediately when package dialog is opened
* warn about immediate conflicts when selecting a package for operation (note that this does not notice all possible conflicts)
* don't use hildon banner in portrait mode
* use the proxy settings for fetching package date information and changelogs
* package list read speed optimizations
* switched to garage bugtracker

Source is now available from garage too (git).
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/fapman/

When reporting bugs to the bugtracker, please note that broken packages/dependencies (probably the majority of errors you're going to encounter) are NOT fapman bugs. I will mark those as invalid unless they are reproducibly related to some other bug. Use this thread instead for reports about broken packages if you have to.

Maybe one more bugfix release (if required) and then I'm going to try what kind of feedback I get from extras-testing...
