Packages have too poor descriptions.
I was told to report each package individually,
but come on, that too much work, but feel free to do that yourselves. Attached is a list of all the offending A:s in core, extra, and community with suggetions.

Also, try to make descriptive descriptions for font and icon packages.
This is probably a hard one, and screenshots would probably be more
helpful.

There is also a lack of consistence in the mode of the descriptions. You should look into that too.

I just scanned the list, the ones I saw were no real change. Again, if you have a specific gripe with a pkgdesc, file a bug against that package. Don't just make minor wording changes that change nothing.
