The sensible answer is putting this information in the .dsc and thus in the Sources files. But it means that the file would get somewhat bigger and it might meant again supplementary changes in the infrastructutre if people want to see those descriptions translated (but I'm not convinced we need translations on Sources, users of those are mostly developers contrary to Packages).
