Hmm, found the file that removed that line (and others I didn't notice 
yet), it's in scripts/ipkg-make-index.sh.

I can easily modify the file package/Makefile to generate a second 
package list with only the info I need.

I have yet to figure out how to add other info to it and if it is 
possible at all without polluting the "control" file in the package, as 
it seems Category and Submenu aren't available in the "control" file 
read by ipkg-make-index.sh.
It seems the control file is generated by scripts/metadata.pm or some 
other Perl script calling it, and I don't know Perl syntax so I can't 
get much further.
