You are indeed correct. Good find. Of course, if you had the same first impression, than other new users will too. I certainly did, and I am far from a new user.

I believe it is completely unintuitive to click on a name next to the check box and expect to get more information - there are no other user interfaces in existence that I'm aware of that operate that way.

A hackish solution would be to change the title to:

<<
Unused packages to remove
(click item name for more info)
>>

Very hackish. In reality, that note should not be necessary and the UI itself should be made to be more obvious that clicking the package name provides information. For example, a small icon with the letter i (presumably in blue) next to the package name would be a perfect way to let the user know where to click to get more info.
