I think this fall back should not be used, except for packages that
build a single binary. It results in nonsense like:
linux
Xen system with Linux 3.16 on 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
That description comes from the xen-linux-system-3.16-1-amd64 binary
package; I don't how that would be the 'first' binary package. Using
the package currently listed first in the control file, we would get:
linux
Linux kernel source for version 3.16 with Debian patches
But this is still not a very sensible summary of the source package.
