I'm in favour of the help text. It doesn't hurt to have relatively long help text.
It's still not ideal because people will only consult help text for packages
they actively select, not for automatically selected packages. But there isn't
much we can do better than that. Or we'd have to add infra to print some "known
issue" text in case of build failure :-P
