I also remembered that this text:

longdesc Additional hyphenation patterns for American and British
longdesc English in ASCII encoding.  The American English patterns
longdesc (usenglishmax) greatly extend the standard patterns from Knuth
longdesc to find many additional hyphenation points.  British English
longdesc hyphenation is completely different from US English, so has its
longdesc own set of patterns.

is meant to be used by CTAN and the idea for CTAN is to actually link
to relevant files.

So if I change the description to "rules to enable hyphenation
patterns", the text will become useless for CTAN "package"
description.
