This gets a bit complicated. I think the strings for the packages and descriptions in GNOME Software comes from the DEP-11 metadata you see when you run sudo apt update.
That metadata is generated from the packages that have been uploaded to Ubuntu. As far as I know, you can't currently test metadata updates with a PPA.
