Tommi, thanks for the report, but this is by design.

Package names can contain no spaces and no capital letters. Because of
this, they can never be human-friendly. For that reason, we give more
prominence to the synopsis, which can be human-friendly.

The Debian Policy Manual says "Put important information first, both in
the synopsis and extended description." <http://www.debian.org/doc
/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-descriptions> If astromenace's synopsis
says it is a "3D space shooter" but doesn't say *which* 3D space shooter
it is, it's not following that rule as well as it should.

"Add/Remove Software" (from packagekit-gnome) takes the same approach:
the synopsis is first and bold, and the package name is second and not
bold.
