`long_description` isn't actually a good candidate for the `description` field in snapcraft because the text is actually used for the project homepage on pypi (and often also on Github).
As a result, many applications start `long_description` by explaining how to install the software on Windows, Mac an Linux. It's also often in an incompatible format and too long for the `description` field.
