Yes, the old finder UI was too ad-hoc. This is the reason why
there was a task in etc/TODO to replace it with the Info UI
that I implemented for 23.2 with `M-x info-finder'.

package.el has a different usage of keywords. While Info UI is useful
for informational purposes (to find a package etc.), the purpose of
package.el is to select and install a package. This requires
a different UI. I think the most convenient UI for this task
would be UI like http://www.jurta.org/en/emacs/ee/finder
Please note that I don't propose to use this package as is
in package.el. I'm referring to its UI that would be useful
for package.el.
