Considering the limited viewing area of the description area in synaptic, perhaps it would be better to keep screenshots separate from the description. They could still go somewhere in the control file, allowing package managers to decide how to present the screenshots to the user. I would personally prefer something where the control file contains a URL or URLs that point to high detail screenshots. One could choose to retrieve them when looking at a package in Synaptic, after reading the description. That sort of thing wouldn't add bloat, but would provide a quick aid in deciding whether to install a package or not. It would also be fairly simple to implement, if say, the URLs were merely opened in the default browser.
