Thanks for reporting.

Unfortunately not.  The description is automatically generated from
upstream's tpm file, collection-latexrecommended.tpm, and in this file
there is no problem:

    <TPM:Description>
A collection of recommended add-on packages for LaTeX which have widespread use
    </TPM:Description>

So the solution requires finding who (read: which part of which script)
generates the whitespace.

Regards, Frank
