Bug#519591: "apt-cache search MIME::Words" does not find libmime-tools-perl

Package: libmime-tools-perl
Version: 5.427-2
Severity: minor

I ususally search for perl modules just by searching module name by apt-cache search.
I think many other users do the same thing. But apt-cache search MIME::Words does not
give libmime-tools-perl as a result of the search.

May be it would be good to add "MIME::Words" string to the discription of the package
to make searching more simple?
