Bug#659108: lintian: suggestion: warn when short description starts with article

[Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>]

Source: lintian
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

just saw it again, so here I suggest a lintian warning when
a package’s short description starts with an article or so,
that is, a/an/the and possibly others.

For that matter, I’d like to see short descriptions that
actually explain what packages do… bad example:

 libgnet2.0-0 - GNet network library

Medium example:

 libgetfem4++ - GETFEM++ generic finite element library

Good example:

 gmusicbrowser - graphic jukebox for large collections of mp3/ogg/flac/mpc files

But that’s not lintian’s task…

bye,
