19 I've put a possible implementation on bug #84884, which doesn't
20 uses metadata.xml, but instead extends use.local.desc semantics
21 (meaning that it's no more only for flags that are not global,
22 but also to override global descriptions on a per-package basis).
23 The advantage of this approach is that it's simple, both to
24 implement and to use.
