A vote from me to say: please show the names!

When update-manager pops up, the first thing I want to decide is: "Is this update going to do anything that I wouldn't want, e.g. change any package versions that I'm currently relying on for my data analysis?" but the screen just says "A lightweight blah manager", "A dbus implementation of a thing", etc.

It gives the user no real idea of what will happen if they say OK.

Please put the names somewhere in the summary table where the user can scan them (the "technical description" is not enough because not scannable).
