two questions:
1) Where did you see this?

2) Why do you think its of interest how Package is written out?

You must understand that this sentence is only a help for you how the
part _after_ packagename should be. Basically it means that your
synopsis must not include "Package-name is a", but if your synopsis
would be combined with this sentence it should still make sense.
