Bug Description
The "description" in "technical description" seems to take its value from the package's description only. Not all packages include the package-name there.
So it is not immediately obvious how to see which package will be updated. (The "changes" tab shows it in a very inconspicuous
way in the first line)
I suggest to include the package name as first line in the description field.

Description-en: secure shell client and server (metapackage)
This metapackage is a convenient way to install both the OpenSSH client
and the OpenSSH server. It provides nothing in and of itself, so you
may remove it if nothing depends on it.
