Of course other packages do this, but it doesn't mean it is the right thing to do ;) We have a really powerful tool, debtags, which can be used to describe various aspects of a package, from the programming language used to implement it, to the kind of files it is able to handle. Putting any of the information which could be effectively described using tags in the short or long description is completely redundant, and as such should be avoided. -- Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
