The "Install" button installs the package. I don't think that concept
needs explication.
Most of the rest of the bug report is about whether the batch-oriented
command set of package.el is appropriate. I think marking and then
`x'-executing packages is a pretty odd interface myself -- I don't think
the user commonly works in that batch-oriented way, so having this be a
two step process is pretty weird.
I'm not sure we can change what the `i' and `d' keys do at this point,
though, but perhaps we could introduce two new keystrokes? Anybody got
an opinion here?
