Either leave things the way they are (and let the port author get a lint warning about it), remove the warning for overriding default variant descriptions (and thereby remove the automated way by which the authors of the above ports would become aware that they should not be writing those descriptions themselves anymore, if they have nothing to add), or provide a way in the portfile for the author to indicate that yes they really do mean to override the default description (seems like overkill).

Or provide some sort of description-append (description-replace
could be added too, to override the default description).
