The Archive:+index / Archive:+packages split for PPAs is a bit of a mess
really and needs rethinking (there are several bugs about this), but as
an interim band-aid I think we'd favourably consider a patch which
duplicated the description across both the "user-focused" index and the
"developer-focused" +packages page.  Starting points:
lib/lp/soyuz/templates/archive-{index,packages}.pt and
lib/lp/soyuz/browser/archive.py.
