Bug#626517: The package description of python-gtk2 should mention "pygtk"

Package: python-gtk2
Version: 2.22.0-0ubuntu1.1
Severity: minor
The "Python bindings for the GTK+ widget set" are better known as PyGTK so
that's what most people are looking for. As neither the package name nor
description of python-gtk2 mentions PyGTK this package isn't found when
searching for pygtk. Adding that word to the package description would make it
easier to find the right package, especially for inexperienced users.
