Start the long description with a subject and main verb.

This structure with three whiches (a full coven!) works surprisingly
well, but it's still probably worth avoiding - for a start it's
possible to misparse it as "with [A] a wrapper which checks [...]
and [B] directories which should never be removed".  The simplest
way to avoid that is: 

   This package provides a tool intended to prevent the accidental deletion
   of important files by replacing /bin/rm with a wrapper, which checks the
   given arguments against a configurable blacklist of files and directories
   that should never be removed.

Looks fine.
