Dear Maintainer,

I'm using UDD for the 1st time and I've tried to find the long description for
the archived packages in the table archived_descriptions but that table seems
to be empty.

I've tried the UDD dump [1] and also the UDD public mirror [2], on both cases
the table archived_descriptions looks empty. Am I missing something or the
archive_gatherer is not collecting the descriptions for the archived packages?

Thanks for your attention,

Hi Joenio,

Sorry for the delay.

It looks like descriptions haven't been imported for a long time, which
probably means that importing them is not that useful, since nobody
noticed before you did.

What is your use case for them?

Best,

Lucas
