I have filed this one. Still on discussion about what the user interface 
should look like. Note that the PackageKit allows you to queue 
transactions. So you can install multiple packages without the UI blocking.

A better explanation is needed here.

Within the group. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to see a confirmation 
that the package has just been installed successfully. The refresh is 
sometimes not visually appealing especially when listing a large number 
of packages within a group which is reported already.

Already filed by me.
