According to the talk record at 2008 24'th Sep with William:
Visual packages include:
Applications
Visible modifications in system
Maps
Ringtone
Repositories
System Update :
Only show up in official updates or releases
One and only one if has update
e.g. 2008.9 --> 2008.10
Package naming:
Should be able to give anyname to a package?
desired by initial author?
That means packages that can be shown is not only those packages on Desktop but those can affect user usage experiences.
What I will do is divide this issue into several steps.
- Adding alias scheme into packagekit & assassin. Tags: alias::xxxxx . prototype done at assassin 254, packagekit need patch
- adding more status of packages in packagekit. Adding update.
- No longer search for system_update. just search for group and dispatch them into correct category.
- Search system-update first. "search name" for system upgrade
After having alias scheme, we also can solve some usability problems. for example: qtopia-phone-x11-(I cannot see)
We can alias them in the future.

step 1. Done
William, you can think about the alias name of long packages now.
alias name is *one* word
for example you can alias qtopia-phone-x11-taskmanger-application as qt-taskmanager via adding a Tags in the packages.
Tags: alias::qt-taskmanager
