"<p>This tool lets you install, remove, and update applications.</p>"
- "<p>&product; 's software management is also called 'package management'. A package is "
- "generally an application bundle, but multiple packages that extend the application "
- "may be offered in order to avoid clutter (e.g. games tend to de-couple the music "
- "data in another package, since its not essential and requires significant disk space). "
- "The base package will get the application's name, while extra packages are suffix-ed. "
- "Common extras are:</p>"
+ "<p>Software in &product; is broken down and distributed in the form of "
+ "packages. This way, if multiple applications require a common system file, "
+ "this system file is shipped in its own package and is installed only once "
+ "if needed. The user need not be concerned about such underlying <i>dependencies</i>. "
+ "Likewise, the plugins and other non-essential data of a given application may "
+ "be shipped in their own packages, so the user may install them only if needed.</p>"),
