Title:
  wish: switch to package names

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Request for enhancement: 
  as a technically minded person, I find the package titles displayed sometimes confusing. For example, right now four items are identically named "Manage release upgrades". 

  I would find it convenient to have an option to switch the displayed
  names in tree view to the technical package name, so that e.g. instead
  of "Software Updater" it displays "update-manager".

  I am well aware of the fact that by expanding the "Technical
  description" part of the window, I can already look up each package
  name in turn.

  You are welcome to not change the expandable section headings, since
  e.g. "Ubuntu base" is a conceptual name rather than a package name, as
  far as I am aware.

  In my opinion, such a switch could suitably be placed as a checkbox in
  the Settings tab "Developer options".
