Package: lintian Version: 1.23.22 Hello, On the mailman package I received this lintian warning: W: mailman: too-long-extended-description-in-templates mailman/queue_files_present N: N: Some debconf interfaces cannot deal very well with descriptions of N: more than about 20 lines, so try to keep the extended description N: below this limit. N: N: Refer to Developers Reference, section 6.5.3.2 for details. N: I've checked that description, and it's quite long but also very informational to the admin. I could condense it, but I feel that throwing away useful information because of some anonymous tool cannot deal with it is not right: we should fix that bug instead of setting an arbitrary 20-line limit on descriptions. The description remains vague as where exactly the problem originates. I'm not sure what it is that imposes the number "20" and why our "26" is too much. Thanks for considering.
