In my opinion, descriptions should not be sentences. Sentences
in English not only need to end with a dot but also require a subject
and a predicate. That makes them unnecessarily long, filled with
useless information like repeated package name and obvious 'is',
at least.

So, rephrasing the example Alexandre pasted, consider:

x11-libs/qt-core - The Qt toolkit is a comprehensive C++ application
                   development framework.

vs.

x11-libs/qt-core - A comprehensive C++ application development framework

Which one is better, in your opinion?
