sorry again for rejecting your patch. I had been unhappy with the UI of the 
package management dialog for a long time, and I did not want to perpetuate 
that.

I have now reworked the dialog, and I hope you will agree that the new UI 
significantly better than the old one. Inspired by your proposal, the new UI 
lists available updates and new packages, separately. Thinking about it, I 
believe the full list of available packages does not provide much value beyond 
that, and so I have removed that, entirely.

If you have some time to test, please give the development version a try, and 
let us know what you think.

Regards
Thomas
