This is all good, but I don't think visible enough to an end user.
If first line in debian/Control::Description would make the intention
clear clear, it would solve the bug as far as I'm concerned.

   BEFORE

    Description: a Common Lisp window manager
     StumpWM is a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. It
     ...

   AFTER

    Description: a Common Lisp window manager
     Note: this is not and end user program; i.e. a regular window manager.
     .
     StumpWM is a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. It
     ...

That leaves open how to generally resolve similar cases in other
packages.
