When I created the status icons* for the package manager I clearly stated that
it's impossible to create a clear metaphor for these and they need to be
accompanied by a text label.
This whole UI approach is problematic and isn't fixable by creating 'better'
icons. You can take effort to make the symbols distinguishable but there's
nothing that you can show to 10 people and have them tell you 'this means it's
an implicit dependency'.
My only suggestion is to revert to the old set if you feel like this is a
regression (I absolutely hate the lack of alpha channel and the associated
ghosting visible on the screenshot too).
