Sorry,forgot to mention that in my first mail, but if we're using 
"runtime package managemennt" maybe we can link to the appropriate 
section directly here? Something like

:ref:`runtime package management<dev-manual/packages:using runtime 
package management>`

maybe? What do you think?

In any case,
