[oi-dev] should packages have a pkg.description or not?

All-

I'm new to oi-dev, though I've been on oi-discuss for years and have done
a little bit with oi-userland in the past.

My basic question is: Should we be including a package description
(pkg.description) in new packages we contribute, or should it
intentionally be left un-set?  Currently, some packages have a
pkg.description, but many do not.  I want to do it the "right" way, but
it's not clear to me which way that is.

I've done some searching of the oi-dev archives, but I don't see any
threads that discuss pkg.description.

Thanks,

Tim
