Re: identical extended descriptions
Hi,
Incidentally, the only significant difference in the
kernel-{source,image,doc,header} packages is the version nubmer. The
packaging is identical, indeed, it is automated, and the versi0on
number is included in the name of the package.
Arguably, the description of these packages should *not* be
different, seeing how close they are in packaging.
A very similar argument holds for netscapa*461 vs netscape*47
-- the significant difference in corresponding packages lies in the
version number.
Perhaps it should be deemed acceptable for packages that
incorporate versions in their names to have identical long
descriptions?

Everybody but Sam had signed up for a new company pension plan that
called for a small employee contribution. The company was paying all
the rest. Unfortunately, 100% employee participation was needed;
otherwise the plan was off. Sam's boss and his fellow workers
pleaded and cajoled, but to no avail. Sam said the plan would never
pay off. Finally the company president called Sam into his
office. "Sam," he said, "here's a copy of the new pension plan and
here's a pen. I want you to sign the papers. I'm sorry, but if you
don't sign, you're fired. As of right now." Sam signed the papers
immediately. "Now," said the president, "would you mind telling me
why you couldn't have signed earlier?" "Well, sir," replied Sam,
"nobody explained it to me quite so clearly before."
