This would open packages up to the transient nature of the internet

similar to the existing 'license' action, to allow package authors
publish rich descriptions to the repository.

Note that actions may have arbitrary additional attributes... so adding
optional attributes to the description is a simple extension.  We are
avoiding new actions in general unless needed for boot or if we really
need subclassing inside the packaging system itself.
