Sorry for the late-to-the-party message - I'd like to strongly support
Goswin's request. The (short) package description is essential
information, all the other stuff doesn't make much sense if you can't
even remotely say what the package does. Adding the description as
mouse-over titles to DDPO made it much more fun to use for me, so I'd
love to have it also in the PTS. (Frankly, when I want to know the
status of a source package, I'm using developer.php?package= instead
of the PTS right now just because of that feature.)

Yes, the information is only a few clicks away, but this argument
obsoletes any information in the PTS.

I'm sure the short description fits somewhere, e.g. in <small> below
the "Overview of..." heading.
