Summary: "Packages to Remove" UI should communicate why
packages need to be removed

"Packages to Remove" pop-up that doesn't really tell you what's happening
When an update needs to remove packages, it only tells you about the removal,
and doesn't mention any new packages that will (likely) replace them. See
attached screenshot.
What's going on there is that my nightly build VLC 3.0.0 packages are being
replaced by new VLC 3.0.0-rc1 packages. As a software guy, I can guess this
based on what showed up in the original list of updates, but to my wife or
mother, what's shown in the screenshot would have no meaning without at least
some follow-up text that shows the packages that will replace them. This would
also be useful for Kernel upgrades where packages are removed and replaced with
new ones that have different names.
