The sign above the aisle that says "headache medicine"?  Or perhaps 
the sign on the shelf itself?

Or, it could be the smaller title below the brand name on the bottle 
that says "headache and pain relief".  Generally the brand name is the 
most prominent title, which would suggest that the Package Name should 
be larger/more prominent in PackageKit than the Summary.

This smells similar to the GenericName vs. Name argument in desktop 
files.
