Package description policy?



I have recently seen quite a few packages like

> Source: wu-ftpd
> Description: 
>  wu-ftpd    - powerful and widely used FTP server
>  wu-ftpd-academ - wu-ftpd upgrade convenience package [removable]

or 

> Source: sbuild
> Description: 
>  sbuild     - Tool for building Debian binary packages from Debian sources

The Policy section 5.7.1. gives excellent reasons for why /not/ to
include the name in the description field.  Is this going to be
changed?
