apt.package.Version.raw_description doesn’t work

Bug Description

The raw_description property of apt.package.Version returns the summary rather than the long description. This is because it accesses self._records instead of self._translated_records, and the long description is located only in the translated records.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
python3-apt 1.6.1

For more detail: The question is whether raw_description is intended to get the Description field in the packages file, which it does; or whether it's intended to get the unformatted translated description.
