What about using visual cues for denoting similar to what modern package managers (Like synaptic http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Synaptic_screenshot.pang) use?
They necessarily don't have to be images or GUI elements, a simple 'X' could do too. (However such a cue before the package name would be better).
This could eliminate the need for an extra column, making things more compact.
