FWIW, most of the package descriptions I've written so far are sentences
ending with a period, i.e., they look like "long descriptions" rather
than one-line descriptions.  Surely we want two separate attributes.
How about adding `longDescription'?

Yes, good idea.

That said, the new attribute should be exploited by some of the tools
(web page generation?  `nix-env'?), otherwise there's little incentive
to use it.  What do you propose?

There already is "nix-env -qa --xml --meta" which shows all meta attributes. Not very user-friendly though :-)
