This is part of the Adept usability critique and doesn't really merit a separate bug, but how is one supposed to know that Request Install is actually going to install all packages whose details are being shown in the "card stack" of details? I don't have the Adept Manager Handbook in my install (and have filed a bug for that), but when I choose to install one package, I would really expect to only install that package.
Personally, I think the whole all-in-one modal window interface is highly unusable. Kynaptic may have been primitive compared to other tools, but at least one knew what was happening most of the time. Sorry to sound harsh, but I don't think a modal approach is the best way to simplify an interface with a tendency to display too much information. And even with a 3GHz CPU and 1GB RAM, Adept is incredibly slow to perform even simple operations (ie. not actually installing packages).
