Yeah, probably. On the other hand, even having `I' and `D' as separate
commands is unnecessary -- we could have an `X' command that does the
correct thing on the current line. (Package knows whether that's
installing or deleting a package.)

Indeed. I've now pushed a change that spells out what i, d and x really
do, because it was pretty misleading. I can well see people reading
that, hitting `i' and then going "so it's installed now?"
