Descriptions can be added to packages during installation. I remember that some of them had explanations, but not all of them. In Octopi they have explanations in Octopi, it will not be difficult to integrate it.
For example what is plasma-nm? I don’t know. Do I need it? Should I keep ticked or untick it. I have to search it on internet.
There can be only a descb done for a packagegroup, as you can see here:
But this does not work for each package.
pacman -Si plasma-nm gives you a description (and more):
