Content 
In English also, to vend is to sell, direct from Fr. *vendre*. However, ideas are not necessarily sold for money, but for assent, adoption, or other action. My dictionary has 'publish' as a secondary meaning of vend. So 'vendor-packages' is fine within the common metaphorical meaning of selling ideas. And it rolls off the tongue better than 'publisher-packages' or 'distributor-packages'.
