The name is already in PKGNAME, and since every place I can think of where COMMENT is displayed either the PKGNAME or directory name is displayed next it, there's not a lot of point in repeating the same information when we can use the space to add to it. We don't have these, for example, even though the names are quite well known: firefox-7.0.1p0 Firefox libreoffice-3.4.3.2v0 LibreOffice - instead we say a little about what they do. I was basing my COMMENT on the details in DESCR and a few bits from the wikipedia article, though looking at the current fonts I won't go quite as far as multilingual until they add a few more charsets. So I'll probably go with this unless someone has a better idea: unicode sans-serif/monospace TrueType fonts from Ubuntu
