I'd try something like this to keep it more nicely scalable:

ul.pkglist li {
   background: url('http://sourceware.org/icons/ball.gray.gif')
   no-repeat center left 0.2em;
   background-size: 1em 1em;
   padding-left: 1.4em;
   display: block;
   align: center;
}

ul.pkglist span {
   float: left;
   width: 30%;
}

Achim.
