I don't mind either way.  But the "Archive" title is taking too much
space, we should find a way to shorten it.

Indeed, "available" uses a lot of space, but if we shorten it,
"built-in" will also need to be shortened (it's only 1 char shorter).

We could try to stick to "three-letter" maximum for the package state.

Icons would be fine but don't help in the tty case, so shortening the
text is also important.
