Description value not available via the DDI API #1690

Hi, I've recently discovered this great update management tool and wanted to use it with rauc.

RAUC neatly connects to hawkbit thanks to rauc-hawkbti-updater, however there's one thing lacking from this connection. The description value of Software Modules and Distributions is not available through the DDI API. Description seems to be quite an important value that can tell the users more about the installed update, this becomes even more important with the feature of the user confirmation request - the description could help reason the decision of accepting or rejecting the update. In my opinion keeping this value open only to the UI and Management API is not enough.

Is this a feature that is planned in the future releases or it is a design decision to not have it available for the updated devices?
