Oh I see, I had misunderstood the intent.

Well, I don’t know what’s best.  I’m happy with the way things are now,
though I can see why it could be confusing.

Perhaps even a different format, like, say:

  The following package will be upgraded:
    guile 1.8.8 → 2.0.9        out     /gnu/store/...

Thoughts?
