+"to all packages from experimental where the name starts with gnome (as a "
+"glob()-like expression) or contains the word kde (as a POSIX extended "

+"behavior is the same as if this regular expression were replaced with a list "
+"of all package names it matches. It is undecided whether this will change in "
