>Description:
When installing a package with build options a message is printed detailing
the possible values and the current settings. It starts with:

"The supported build options for this package are:"

This is fine if you are scrolling through the megabytes of log files
produced by installing only a few packages. But if you are lazy and
use sed(1) to cut the relevant message for the log files, you have
difficulties figuring out just which packages it is talking about.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
E.g. install meta-pkgs/xorg.
>Fix:
Be more specific in the message. Use the actual package name instead of
"this package".
