pkgdesc variable in package splitting gets ignored when in AUR

Description
The pkgdesc variable in a PKGBUILD using split packages is ignored on the web ui and picking the first one (i.e. the base package) instead.
According to https://archlinux.org/pacman/PKGBUILD.5.html#_package_splitting one can set the pkgdesc variable in each package_<name> function.
This works for packages in the official repositories quite well. Example: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/systemd-libs/
all good.
but the pkgdesc variable of the same package gets overwritten by the pkgdesc variable of the base packagename when in the AUR:
Example:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/systemd-libs-git -> see the field "Description" which is using the pkgdesc value of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/systemd-git instead
the correct one defined for systemd-libs would be: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=systemd-git#n220
Reproduction
build a split package with different pkgdesc variables in every section and upload to the AUR. Open AUR web and find that only the first pkgdesc will be shown for all package names.
