The word order "they cannot be through the Package Menu deleted" is wrong in English (it would be correct in German ;-). The correct word order is "they cannot be deleted through the Package menu". I don't think there's any reason to capitalise "menu" either, though I can see "Package" might want to be capitalised. Please consider amending your patch to the documentation. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
