+The package level output during transactions is as follows:
+
+_OPERATION_ _NEVRA_ [*(from:* _RELNEVRA_*)*]*:* _STATUS_
+
+_OPERATION_ is one of:
+- *cleanup*: cleanup of the previous version in *upgrade* or *downgrade*
+- *downgrade*: downgrade an installed package to an older version
+- *erase*: erase package from the system
+- *install*: install a new package on the system
+- *replace*: replace (obsolete) a previously installed package with another one
+- *restore*: restore permissions and similar on an installed package
+- *upgrade*: upgrade an installed package to a newer version
+
+_NEVRA_ identifies the package being operated on. Note that operations

Oh truly, *that* is a good point. This whole plugin is about transaction elements, really. In that context, the description is accurate.
