Please follow the Best Packaging PRactices for the package synopsis
<URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-bpp-pkg-synopsis>.

Also, please ensure the synopsis shows why one package is different
from another; the above two synopses are identical.

Better synopses for these packages might be:

> libenglab  - A cross compile mathematical platform with a C like syntax

    cross-compiling mathematical platform with C-like syntax - run-time library

> libenglab-dev - A cross compile mathematical platform with a C like syntax

    cross-compiling mathematical platform with C-like syntax - development files

There may be other improvements as well.

The synopsis should fit sensibly into the hypothetical sentence
template:

    <packagename> is {a,an,the} <synopsis>
