A matter of taste, of course, but I don't mind the extra line below
the picture.

The splash screen is a way to advertize the "World of Emacs" to users:
IMHO a resource like ELPA fits well with other external resources like
the GNU/Linux page.

To align the message with the menu entry, the link can say "Manage
Emacs packages" while the description would say "Install or uninstall
additional Emacs packages".
