Thanks for the input, I have used a lot of your text, and changed it
to the following.
If anyone care to comment, please do!

Package: mactelnet-client
Architecture: linux-any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Description: client tools for Mikrotik proprietary MAC Telnet protocol
 This package provides the utilities macping, mndp and mactelnet for
 connecting to Mikrotik RouterOS devices, or other mactelnet-server
 powered machines/devices.
 .
 These tools can communicate with servers using Mikrotik proprietary MAC
 Telnet protocol. You can connect to Linux machines that
 have installed mactelnet-server, or Mikrotik RouterOS devices.

 These tools have nothing to do with Telnet protocol specified by RFC
 854 and 855.
