I agree that sentence is difficult to get, moreover i think we should
keep all packages in the list (coloring in green those who do not seem
to require any action).

We only changed the title of the section from Ubuntu to Derivatives, now
you are right there should be a subsection for each derivatives we want
to track.
I understand I should not have closed this bug, as commercial brands are
offending some of us. I failed reopening it because it is archived.
I would rather avoid asking users what should be hidden (and let them
read what they want to) but that is probably the best option here.
