The title under discussion is playing the same role as "summary" for 
packages. i.e. A short one liner identifier.  Same goes for 
description.  A paragraph or so description of the package or image in 
this case.  So why not use the same terms?  Why try to invent something new?

Your response seems to suggest that we shouldn't call the supports of a 
table or chair a "leg" because us humans already have something called a 
leg.
