Title:
  Title and summary are capitalized if from .desktop but not if from
  package synopsis

Bug description:
  Where they are English phrases (e.g. not package names), software item
  titles and summaries look best if their first word is capitalized.

  If the title and summary are derived from a .desktop file, they are
  already capitalized.

  If they are from a synopsis, however, Debian policy is that they should *not* 
have their first word capitalized.
  
<http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-pkg-synopsis>

  Therefore, Ubuntu Software Center should capitalize them.
