Then again, looking at the DCMTK packages, their descriptions strike me as pretty useless, which I see is just a reflection of the web site for DCMTK, which does not have the word "medical" anywhere on its extensive main page, only mentioning the type of images on linked pages such as the 'Introduction to DICOM' page. The 'amide' package seems to have gone the other way: software for Medical Imaging which strikes me as better, and has the benefit of turning up in apt-cache searches for all of DICOM, DCMTK and medical, whereas the dicom* packages don't come up for the 'medical' search. i.e.: apt-cache search medical Also, I note that the extra info you included makes it plain that DCMTK is also a C++ library, which is something that I'd not worked out from the long description. You might want to make sure that's clear. That's perhaps completely obvious to the target audience though, in which case the only important thing is to make sure that non medics will get the message "Not for you" as quickly as possible, preferably in the short description. Strangely enough I think the dcmtk* packages achieve that, since: OFFIS DICOM toolkit command line utilities tells me that I have no interest whatsoever in this, because I've no idea what OFFIS or DICOM stand for (or at least that was the case last week ;-) ) So, either make the short description meaningful to all, or make it obviously uninteresting/incomprehensible to the uninterested.
