To you it is a package but to the end user looking at the menu it is a
category or package grouping; a module is a package; more than one
module focused on extending the same function is a package group. The
end user experience is what matters, not the dev types that know what
it is supposed to represent.

Yes, I have read your technical explanation before. It is the end user
experience I am trying to benefit. I agree that a module in a package,
package grouping, category or what ever it is needs to move to Other if
there is only one in the grouping installed in the users environment.
I disagree that if I have more than one Taxonomy module package
installed that the menu should display both of those in the Other
package grouping rather than the Taxonomy package grouping.
