When I switched to Arch from Ubuntu, I thought users would be less
stupid here. The problem with that message is that most of the users
would probably not read it and ignore it, though I think all request
types should be explained there. Also, there should be a way to request
orphan AND auto-adopt the package after the request has been approved.
