A package description is not a Wikipedia entry.  Different styles
apply.  In an encyclopedia, the bracket form you mentioned can be a
handy way of including "useful" information right at the start when the
article itself is much more long-winded.  This is not the case here,
though, and the entire bracket expression only serves as a distraction
from the rest of the sentence.
