Software Updater is only showing the description for my application

A program I've packaged isn't showing the name of my application, but only the description.

I've tried downloading a few packages from the Ubuntu repositories to see what they might be doing differently, but I haven't been able to find anything that's getting me anywhere.

Anything I can try? Here's the control file for the package if it helps:

Package: makedeb-alpha
Description: Create Debian archives from PKGBUILDs (alpha release)
Source: makedeb.sh
Version: 2.7.1-1
Architecture: all
Maintainer: Hunter Wittenborn <[email protected]>, 
Depends: makepkg, dpkg-dev, binutils, file
Suggests: makedeb-db

Solution 1:

It looks like applications default back to their description in their control file if they don't have a .desktop file. I haven't tested it yet, but it looks like what's appearing to happen in general.
