The word order "they cannot be through the Package Menu deleted" is
wrong in English (it would be correct in German ;-). The correct word
order is "they cannot be deleted through the Package menu". I don't
think there's any reason to capitalise "menu" either, though I can see
"Package" might want to be capitalised.
Please consider amending your patch to the documentation.
