Additionally fixes description on wrapped packages.

Motivation for this change

As far as the attributes are concerned, I believe it's confusing how libreoffice-unwrapped doesn't point to the same version than libreoffice would (even though it's not really to be used!).

I'm not 100% confident on the implementation, is there any reasons for the previous implementation compared to the current implementation? Furthermore, it's more about all the unwrapped than specifically libreoffice, but would it make sense to make a move to make them less accessible so new users are less confused by an internal thing? Unless I misunderstood something about libreoffice-*-unwrapped, they are mostly there as an internal thing, right?

This bring an incompatible change where a user using libreoffice-unwrapped hoping to use fresh would now be inadvertently be using still.


And for the description, well, that's an obvious net gain, whether the other change is desired or not.

Well, it was a story of «OK will it make the situation better or worse», then ideas to check ran out and I forgot to consider what is the most reasonable layout. And I just forgot about meta, my bad.
