Bug#304325: linda: Please provide a more informative long description



Package: linda
Severity: wishlist

Hello,
as the recent thread on -devel [0] pointed out, there is a bit of
confusion about linda and lintian.

IMHO it would be a good idea to provide an improved description for 
linda; I CCed -devel to hear also other opinions.

Here it is my proposal:

 Linda is a Debian package checker that runs some rudimentary checks over
 source and binary packages to see if they comply to Policy.
 .
 It is much like lintian, but it is faster and internationalized (l10n 
 strings for most errors, in German only at the moment). Linda is 
 developed in Python.
 .
 Since Linda and Lintian implement a different set of tests, you may
 find useful to run both of them on your packages.

Please be patient with my english. :)
Thanks for your time.

ciao,
