Tag: synopsis-is-a-sentence Severity: info Check: fields/description Renamed-From: description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly Explanation: The package synopsis (also known as the "short" description, ie. the first line in the package's "Description:" field) either ends with a full stop "." character or starts another sentence. . This is not necessary as the synopsis does not need to be a full sentence. It is recommended that a single descriptive phrase is used instead. . Note also that the synopsis is not part of the rest of the "long" Description: field. See-Also: developer-reference 6.2.2
