Debtags "facets"[0] are better for this. Descriptions are supposed to
help *ordinary* users decide which programs to install. (Hint: most of
the world doesn't know how to debug in *any* language.)
I agree that minor bugs are called for when descriptions contain
non-descriptive technical trivia like this.
