The first line is fine, but i think that the "menu placement" should be 
put somewhere else, so it is shown for only the selected packages.
The package name and version should be shown somewhere else if you don't 
show it in the list.
What about packages with multiple .desktop files, how are they handled, 
are they all shown or what.
