Please make the package synopsis conform to Best Packaging Practices
<URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-pkg-synopsis>.

In particular, the synopsis should make sense when inserted in a
sentence of the form “The package <packagename> is a <synopsis>.” So
the synopsis should be a noun phrase, and should not be capitalised
like the start of a sentence.

Also, JPEG is an initialism and should be capitalised.

A suggested improved synopsis:

    tool to recover JPEG images from a filesystem image

It's usually best to also give the long description of packages when
you submit an RFS message; this is easy to do by simply giving your
full ‘Description’ field for the package (including synopsis and long
description).
