This file isn't needed any more IMO.  The current upstream version is
double-licensed under GPL (CC GPL is just a wrapper around the real one)
and LPPL, which are both DFSG-free.

    if ($synopsis =~ m/\.\s*$/) {
        tag "description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly", "";

just leave it out.
