I think that if you used Oliver's box with those sort of arrow glyphs, it
would look better and more Breathe-like.

For system-software-install, I don't think that a down arrow looks
appropriate. Down makes me think "download". As long as we're using a box
metaphor for packages, wouldn't it make sense to show an open box to install
a package? Or perhaps a closed box with scissors or multiple arrows showing
how the box opens?

A few illustrative examples are attached.
