Read it in this way: is it better to have a useless pkg_info COMMENT 
because it's truncated, or a nicer web page displaying ten additional 
characters and probably a link to the pkg-descr? IMHO if you are looking 
for a detailed description you have to look at pkg-descr in any way, 70 
chars instead of 60 don't make a difference, but a truncated comment is 
like a 0-chars comment. This is my opinion of course.
