How about:
"Help >
Find Emacs Internal Extensions" -> `finder-by-keyword'
"Help >
Find External Emacs Extensions" -> `menu-bar-help-extra-packages'
FWIW I _still_ find the term "package" to be ambiguous and loaded,
esp. at the menu level. It may be useful for new users if Emacs
actually says what is meant e.g. - "Find some extension for Emacs".
