`C-h f list-packages' should give you a better description of the
display that results.  It wouldn't hurt to succinctly describe each
column.

`C-h r g package menu' should give you a better description.  It should
describe each column of the display.  It could describe column `status'
better, for instance.  Apparently one of the possible values is
`dependency', but that is not mentioned.
