Please stop the insanity of narcissistic and vague description for packages.

Consider extra/purpose for example. Its description is too vague:
“Framework for providing abstractions to get the developer's purposes fulfilled”
The only thing this tells be is that it is a framework, so the description could just have been “Framework”, or slightly more descriptive, “A KDE framework”. I don't actually know want this framework does so I will not be suggesting another description, but there is no sense in using the upstream description if it this vague.
This task depends upon
