Title:
  Upgradable (upstream) not defined

Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  Unbuntu version 7.10
  Synaptic 0.60ubuntu5

  I didn't understand the meaning of (upstream) in the context of "upgradable (upstream)".
  I found no expanation of this term in Synaptic help.

  It is an ambiguous and unneeded qualifier. Unless there is an
  alternative form of "upgradable" such as (downstream) or (yellow-
  brick-road), why not simply drop the reference?
