Applied to master after doing the following changes:

    [Thomas:
     - remove double "only" noticed by Carlos
     - fix typo packaged -> package noticed by Romain
     - fix check-package warning noticed by Ricardo]

Thanks to everyone who reviewed, and spotted my mistakes!

Best regards,

Thomas
