Hi, sorry to be picky, but I think the short description is too long.
I've tried to look for official guidance on this, and there's a bit at
<http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-newpackage>,
but it doesn't specify the description's length. I think < 80 chars is
best for the description to be useful using command line tools such as
dpkg, apt-cache search, etc.
