Bug Description

We should have some kind of "details" hide/show mechanism for the "compulsory for desktop" packages.

This would allow us to have AppData for stuff like shell components and list the updates for these things without cluttering up the updates view.

I've stopped working on this due to complexity. I was able to show the details for the individual packages that made up the OS Updates package in the AppInfoView. However, it is difficult to represent the information in a user friendly way.

Dan has suggested that this requires some brainstorming to come up with a good solution. For reference, my experimental branch is here:
