Tommi, thanks for the report, but this is by design.
Package names can contain no spaces and no capital letters. Because of this, they can never be human-friendly. For that reason, we give more prominence to the synopsis, which can be human-friendly.
The Debian Policy Manual says "Put important information first, both in the synopsis and extended description." <http:// www.debian. org/doc/ debian- policy/ ch-binary. html#s- descriptions> If astromenace's synopsis says it is a "3D space shooter" but doesn't say *which* 3D space shooter it is, it's not following that rule as well as it should.
"Add/Remove Software" (from packagekit-gnome) takes the same approach: the synopsis is first and bold, and the package name is second and not bold.
