Title:
  For Purchase Apps: Console description should be authoritative

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Can we, just for For Purchase apps, *always* show the description that
  is entered in the dev portal rather than showing the long desc in the
  control file after the package is installed.  Right now we package
  first and publish later; often times, the vendor doesn't provide me a
  description so I have to find one on their website or create one, or
  even if they do, they often change it at the last minute resulting in
  the description being (sometimes vastly) different pre-install versus
  post-install.

  I would prefer, and from talking to a couple of vendors they would as
  well, that the Dev Portal description be authoritative.
