I made two attempts. The problem is that I change the semantic
from "etch-and-a-half is 4.0r4" to "etch-and-a-half is a set of
packages [to improve hardware support]". Even though it match my
understanding, it doesn't fits in the rest of the page (which should be
then worded as install "Debian Etch 4.0r4 with etch-and-a-half")...
If we consider that etch-and-a-half = 4.0r4(+) as a whole, then we
should stick to your wording : Etch-and-a-half is the name of the
release, no need to explain it.

** Attempt 1 **
current :
Additional packages have been added in the Debian 4.0r4 point release to
increase the set of hardware supported by Debian 4.0
proposed :
An additional set of packages, known as etch-and-a-half, have been added
in the Debian 4.0r4 point release to increase the set of hardware
supported by Debian 4.0
** Attempt 2 **
current :
This includes packages based upon the Linux 2.6.24 kernel and additional
drivers for the X window system.
proposed :
Those packages, collectively named "etch-and-a-half", includes Linux
2.6.24 kernels, modules for it and additional drivers for the X window
system.
