   		else if (strstr(p, "Choices-Description-") == p && t != 0)

Could you tell how it is used by main-menu?
IMO adding this new field won't help, you could instead use templates
with predefined names, e.g. debian-installer/main-menu/<package>,
to build the list of main-menu items.
Both ways require extra work to display localized fields.
