I've > always found it charming, but it can be very confusing indeed. "Merging patches" is even more confusing. At least "installing" is sufficiently vague to be able to include the above interpretation. "Merging" is simply wrong, unless you are talking about a separate branch (which is not our case, since we are talking about patches). And "merging a package" is completely off-mark, IMO.
