skip all Description fields in apt-cache, not just first

Given a Packages file like:
[…]
Description: foo bar baz
 moo moo moo
Multi-Arch: foreign
Description-md5: 97e204a9f4ad8c681dbd54ec7c505251
[…]

We have to display the Multi-Arch flag field as well as the fields
after the Description-md5, but not this field itself, as we already
have one printed alongside the Description we display.

Closes: 717254
