The Debian policy only mentions this about the long description: "The extended description should describe what the package does and how it relates to the rest of the system (in terms of, for example, which subsystem it is which part of)." Of course, it does not forbid including the name of the author. But maybe it is better to include a Homepage: field in the debian/control file, that way people who want to know more about a package than just a description of what it does can find out much more information, including the name of the author. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <guus@debian.org>
