Bug#364848: general: please have package short descriptions say what the package REALLY does



Package: general
Severity: normal


i think it will help to require short descriptions to make sense to
anybody who knows only about the most widely used terms.

often new packages are added like the following.  i do not mean to
pick on ndiswrapper at all; it was just the most recent example.

this bug applies to normal packages and not just kernel modules.

please note that few users will know what "ndis" is.

thanks.

ndiswrapper-common - Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper-source - Source for the ndiswrapper linux kernel module
ndiswrapper-utils - Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper-utils-1.7 - Userspace utilities for ndiswrapper
