Uhm, interesting, I always thought the heuristic was slightly
difference.

Is there an argument for not replacing point (3) above with:

  (3*) Otherwise, use the description of the first binary in
  debian/control order

My gut feeling is that (2) is enough to counter most of the misleading
results that (3*) alone would produce.

Cheers.
