Description

While discussing the changes to the server package set we realized we'd like to document that there are two types, logical (defined by description) and seed based package sets. In the long past seed based lists were generated, but that had issues, but-rot and also sometimes one wanted to add/remove some. Therefore for now this described how non-generated lists can be maintained better by describing how the DMB wants to treat them.

While getting to that I found that we didn't yet leverage the related content out of the staging area, it was still as it was in the wiki without any rewrite.

The following is picking, placing and overhauling what I think would be useful to have.
And then adding the explanation and examples how seed based sets could be checked

I've worked through the links, references, spelling checks and a bit more on the phrasing. Should now be ready for review - marking as such...

Fixed the broken redirection (thanks Sally), improved a bad paragraph that I found and added a flowchart to explain the basic data relation visually. Rebased and re-pushed
