I feel that in general the "margin-bottom" value for paragraphs could be
reduced to 1em (from the current 2em, in layout.css:129), without
squeezing the page together too much.

Another idea might also to be to use details elements[0] to hide the
information by default (most users will know how a package is installed,
I suspect the note is added for people installing their first packages),
but to present it in more detail if explicitly requested.
