Right. So it's kinda tough to use the display during the transaction to 
figure distinguish between xorg-x11-driver-<type>-<name1> and 
xorg-x11-driver-<type>-<name2>, when all you can see is 
xorg-x11-drive########. Same goes for some long-named ooo packages, etc.

I realize this is a cosmetic thing, but since you clearly put a lot of 
work in to make a nice CLUI...
