This looks like a good starting point to me... but find-eppp is
an eev-ism - `(find-eppp o)' displays a pretty-printed version of
o in a temporary buffer. What would normal people use instead of
the `find-eppp' here?

  (find-eppp

   (mapcar
    (lambda (p)
      (list (package-desc-name (cadr p))
            (package-desc-summary (cadr p))))
    package-archive-contents)

   )
