can we get better package descriptions for filing bugs

Hi all!
  I've got a question/request. In the "Select a Package" dialog that
comes up when you want to choose a package to file a bug against, is it
possible to get better descriptions? Right now the description is just
the name of the package (which is redundant). Even a list of the binary
packages compiled from the source package or short description for
binary packages would help.

I bring this up because there is a scientific source package named
"boot" in Universe and I've been getting a few bugs filed against it
from people having problems with the boot process. The boot source
package creates the r-cran-boot binary package which would indicate to
the user that it isn't the place to file a bug about the boot process.
