Hello, Is there a consensus on what version numbers should be contained in package descriptions when they are already in the metadata?
Most of the time they look to me as marketing, not as useful information for users When users want to install a specific version, tools like apt use the metadata to get version numbers. When version numbers are in the descriptions, translators of DDTP get to translate the same descriptions over and over and in the meantime users lose the translation. I just commented on this bug report [1] that added a version number in the description, asking not to put the version number, is this correct?
