Bug Description

When the muon updater shows the list of packages to be updated, for "system updates" it shows a description of the package being updated, but not its name. This makes it very difficult to decide whether I want to updated the package or not, and what software I need to check after the update to see that it still works as I expect.

For example, I got a notification to update a "flexible project management web application" - can you guess what software that I rely on will maybe get broken and I will need to fix it?
