no, the slice should be selecting the second package, fixed.

yes, that's intended and what an user interface, be it CLI or web, is for.
Just dumping the whole state does not makes sense here for the user, same
as the web interface shouldn't just dump the raw state it gets from an
API response, different presentation require selecting different data shown
to point at the thing one actually want to present to the user.

If we just could always dump the whole state we could just auto generate
the whole user interfaces, but those tend to be pretty confusing and unusable
for most.
