I believe its a lintian warning inspired by DevRef 6.2.2:

  http://www.us.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-pkg-synopsis

But that lintian check is (has?) supposed gone away, for lack of
consensus, and because so many packages have short descriptions
beginning with so-called "articles"..

I don't care either way, just trying to follow the best practices ..
