Bug#669365: Package description - please reuse boilerplate from netpbm
Source: netpbm-free
Version: 2:10.0-15+b1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainers,
reviewing the German translation of the package description from
libnetpbm9 (1) quite useless. It contains just packaging and historic
information:
Description: Shared libraries for netpbm (v9)
This package contains shared libraries used to be used by netpbm.
Now we've switched to a single shared library, look out for libnetpbm10.
This package is provided for backward compatibility.
The netpbm description explains what netpbm is (2).
Description: Graphics conversion tools between image formats
Netpbm is a toolkit for manipulation of graphic images, including
conversion of images between a variety of different formats. There
are over 220 separate tools in the package including converters for
more than 80 graphics formats.
I suggest using the netpbm description as first paragraph of all
package descriptions originating from this source.
Kind regards
Martin
