Yes, but what does it do? Why would I pick this out of a package list if I didn't know the name of the package already?
The following line in the RFP says:
Vite is a frontend build tool, including development server and build command bundling code with Rollup, pre-configured to output optimized static assets for production.
That is the long description. I have to view the details for a package to access the long description, and it still does not tell me anything about the package that would help me make a decision whether I want to install it.
The most information is contained in the package name, which suggests that this belongs to the NodeJS ecosystem, and this is obvious to me only because I know that ecosystem exists and uses this naming convention within Debian.
I have no idea how it fits into that system, and which specific problems it solves, so even if I were a NodeJS user, I still could not use this to decide whether I want to install it.
The target audience for descriptions is "users who do not know the software yet."
