You don't need to explain it so that everybody understands the format.
It should be sufficient to say as much as will allow to decide whether
the package is useful for me, or not. What about:
,----
| cuetools is a set of programs that are useful for manipulating CD/DVD
| image files in CUE format and Table of Contents (toc) files. The CUE
| format is used for mixing different data types on one medium (iso9660,
| audio, video,...). The package includes these utilities:
|
| - cueconvert: convert between CUE and TOC formats
| - cuebreakpoints: print the breakpoints from a CUE or TOC file
| - cueprint: print disc and track information for a CUE or TOC file
|
| It can also be used to split a large audio file into many
| small files according to a CUE or TOC.
