Genuine applications for managing big clutter of installed packages are
included in NewtCase from ICS (http://www.newts.com). Package Manager for
viewing all packages and info, freezing, thawing, etc. and Extras Manager
for creating (Conflict Catcher-like) groups of packages to activate. The
later one is essential especially for older MP models with limited heap.
