Description
What's the problem this feature will solve?
Currently it's not obvious in the end message install summary whether a package was installed via a source tree, a source distribution or a wheel.
It would be good to make this information more obvious so users can more easily assess their risks of using sdists vs. wheels.
Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of:
Sucessfully installed: ab-1.0, bc-1.1, cd-0.9, de-1.2
The following would make it obvious to users that source distributions were installed:
Successfully installed from source distribution: bc-1.1, cd-0.9
Successfully installed from wheel: ab-1.0, de-1.2
