The reasoning is in the Developer's Reference: the tools that will
display the synopsis already display the package name, so the synopsis
should use its limited space to describe the package, assuming that
the package name is part of the context and not naming it again.

That's a little different point: I was attempting to make all the
packages that are “part of” the full OpenOffice.org suite follow the
same pattern, to be visually similar in a listing. (Much like now, but
without repeating the package name.)
It seems you consider the set of packages that are “part of ”
OpenOffice.org to be more specific than the wide net I cast. What
subset would you have omit the “full-featured office productivity
suite” text in the synopsis?
