I'm not convinced if we need this big of a description, really?

"Ubuntu Server, representing all packages that make up Ubuntu Server
special representing the respective common use cases exclusive to
Server is exclusively maintained by people associated with the
~ubuntu-server team."

I think that seems good enough to me. No? The rest of it is a good
explanation, but doesn't really belong in the description in my
opinion.

Thoughts?

Wow, that's a lot of packages, but I really don't mind the additions
and the removals, especially when the Server team has a good
reputation for maintaining their packages. :)

+1 from me, but I'll let Robie comment as well.
