-  "Alist that maps packages to alists of package to Emacs versions.
-The value alists map all package versions used with
-the :package-version keyword to Emacs versions.  Packages are
-symbols and versions are strings.
-
-For example:
-  '((MH-E (\"7.4\" \"22.1\") (\"8.0\" \"22.1\"))
-    (Gnus (\"5.11\" \"22.1\")))")
+  "Alist mapping versions of Emacs to versions of a package.
+These package versions are listed in the :package-version
+keyword used in `defcustom', `defgroup', and `defface'. Its
+elements look like this:
+
+     (PACKAGE (PVERSION . EVERSION)...)
+
+For each PACKAGE, which is a symbol, there are one or more
+elements that contain a package version PVERSION with an
+associated Emacs version EVERSION.  These versions are strings.
+For example, the MH-E package updates this alist with the
+following:
+
+     (add-to-list 'customize-package-emacs-version-alist
+                  '(MH-E (\"6.0\" . \"22.1\") (\"6.1\" . \"22.1\")
+                         (\"7.0\" . \"22.1\") (\"7.1\" . \"22.1\")
+                         (\"7.2\" . \"22.1\") (\"7.3\" . \"22.1\")
+                         (\"7.4\" . \"22.1\") (\"8.0\" . \"22.1\")))
+
+The value of PACKAGE needs to be unique and it needs to match the
+PACKAGE value appearing in the :package-version keyword.  Since
+the user might see the value in a error message, a good choice is
+the official name of the package, such as MH-E or Gnus.")
