+     "Packed provides some package manager agnostic utilities to work
+with Emacs Lisp packages.  As far as Packed is concerned packages
+are collections of Emacs Lisp libraries that are stored in a
+dedicated directory such as a Git repository.  And libraries are
+Emacs Lisp files that provide the correct feature (matching the
+filename).
+
+Where a package manager might depend on metadata, Packed instead
+uses some heuristics to get the same information---that is slower
+and might also fail at times but makes it unnecessary to maintain
+package recipes.")
