I'll reply to the followup with reviews, which means I get to use this
reply to check that I've understood the basics.
It took me quite a lot of reading webpages about LSP and so on to work
out what any of this was talking about. I gather it's basically for
generating C#-specific popup hints and the like in Visual Studio, or
(therefore) Debian-control-file-specific hints in Emacs (or just
conceivably vi)? So the strings in question are basically chopped up
reminders of stuff out of Debian Policy, and if I was a DD working on
a new package in my favourite integrated development environment this
would be a really handy new bell and/or whistle it could provide.
Fortunately, debputy's intended users are bound to be quicker to
understand this context than I was, and non-developers reading the
debputy package description get to see that it's in section: devel.
Most people won't see "language server protocol" and immediately start
thinking about C-3PO, the way I naturally do...
