[Bug 1322711] [NEW] "Description" in "Technical description" doesn't show package name

Public bug reported:

The "description" in "technical description" seems to take its value
from the package's description only. Not all packages include the
package-name there.

So it is not immediately obvious how to see which package will be updated. (The "changes" tab shows it in a very inconspicuous
way in the first line)

I suggest to include the package name as first line in the description
field.
