Bug#288568: lintian: exceptions for description starting with capital letter



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.6
Severity: wishlist

Hello.

(fenio@domek)~/test/potracegui$lintian potracegui_1.2-1_i386.changes
W: potracegui: description-synopsis-starts-with-a-capital-letter
(fenio@domek)~/test/potracegui$

That's of course true, but description is: KDE frontend for potrace

Maybe it would be reasonable to make some exceptions for this check?
Some which came to my mind:

GNOME, KDE, X11, GNU, SVGAlib...

Just take a look how popular is starting description with KDE and GNOME:

(fenio@domek)~$apt-cache search KDE | grep "\- KDE" | wc -l
179
(fenio@domek)~$apt-cache search GNOME | grep "\- GNOME" | wc -l
84
(fenio@domek)~$

regards
