This test is not very helpful:
- you use the status file which has the full description while we work on
files downloaded by apt, those have descriptions split out in separate
Translation-en files.
- did you test both in the same environment (i.e. same version of
python-apt / python-debian) ?
In fact, I even wonder why we're getting short description at all...
since we're not accessing data directly via AptCache and instead we
are parsing the downloaded Packages files.
Cheers,
