I like Rob's idea or maybe just Package Manager to make it more generic.  8)

I say leave it as "Install/Remove Software".  LL is supposed to help bring Windows users over to the dark side, right?  Things need to be named so that ex-Windows users can relate.  "Package manager" sounds more like a jock strap than anything having to do with programs.  I say, keep it simple.  (Wait.  That's part of the LL logo, isn't it?  Smile )

If the default settings upon installing of LL for the Whisker menu were "Show generic applications names" and "Show applications descriptions", it would solve the problem and (I think) be a simple fix.

It would also make the parts of Libre Office Suite clearer: Word Processor, Presentation, Spreadsheet, and Formula Editor.

Install Additional Software & Remove Additional Software has the same icon
Hence we may select wrong application at times

Therefore changing icon can be taken as first step
