Yes, it should be automatic. It corresponds to the short description
of the package. I will fix it for my own packages, at least.

There seems to be a problem with some packages which should not be
there, though (scikits.em, for example - they are parts of
scikits.learn - maybe a bug somewhere, since they don't exist in
pypi).
