Thanks for the correction, I overlook other details.

If the text doesn't exist in specspo, the tags from the header are used.

If you're changing to a package with the same name, howvere, the text from
specspo *will* be used. This is confusing, and gets further confused if
you are trying to provide locale specific text.
