 This metapackage is a convenient way to install both the OpenSSH client
 and the OpenSSH server. It provides nothing in and of itself, so you
 may remove it if nothing depends on it.

Title:
  "Description" in "Technical description" doesn't show package name

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The "description" in "technical description" seems to take its value
  from the package's description only. Not all packages include the
  package-name there.

  So it is not immediately obvious how to see which package will be updated. (The "changes" tab shows it in a very inconspicuous
  way in the first line)

  I suggest to include the package name as first line in the description
  field.
