+#
+#  - *id* ID for the product. The ID "" is special, and is used for
+#    "no package selected". Only include this if the mode allows
+#    selecting none.
+#  - *package* Package name for the product. While mandatory, this is
+#       not actually used anywhere.
+#  - *name* Human-readable name of the product. To provide translations,
+#       add a *[lang]* decoration as part of the key name, e.g. `name[nl]`
+#       for Dutch. The list of usable languages can be found in
+#       `CMakeLists.txt` or as part of the debug output of Calamares.
+#  - *description* Human-readable description. These can be translated
+#       as well.
+#  - *screenshot* Path to a single screenshot of the product. May be
+#       a filesystem path or a QRC path (e.g. ":/images/no-selection.png").
