+As it is now the user has to read the whole thing (first the leading
+sentence, then the options, then put both in a meaningful relation)
+before he can decide what to do. Our goal was always to make it as
+simple as reasonable for the user to understand what we exactly mean.
+So why not write in the options what is really done?
+
+Some installed packages (hardware and language support) may not be
+needed on your computer.
+[ ] Check to remove unused hardware support
+[ ] Check to remove unused language support
+
+Here the option tells exactly and with no room for misunderstanding in
+one line what it is doing when checked or unchecked.
