I would not be so quick to dismiss a user's interest in the package -
sometimes it is a description which makes you see something you'd have
never guessed...

Of course, I might ge way mistaken if the LV2 standard is too
specialized. I'm just pointing at common practice.

Anyway, I'd just include something short along what you have
described, maybe including some package names, and this paragraph (or
bits from it):

If I were to update the description, would I somehow do it on the bug tracker, or just in the package I create?
