I usually don't criticize the package descriptions but I'm not sure
that such information actually pertains to the package description. It
should rather go in README.Debian....

I would also advise against the use of exclamation marks and
*pseudo-bold text*. Package descriptions os a place where neutral
language should be used: facts, only facts and not opinions.

Addressing the users ("you") in package descriptions is also something
I would discourage.
