Huh?  (translation: this need to be a wee bit more understandable to
people who don't know what jid is (or which jid you mean).

For the record, jid's short description is:
 "jid - json incremental digger"

And its long description is:

 "jid a very simple tool. You can drill down JSON interactively by using
 filtering queries like jq. Suggestion and Auto completion of this tool
 will provide you a very comfortable JSON drill down."

This is not a good long description.  Please have a look at several
other packages in Debian to get the idea of what we use long
descriptions for...

That said, the very first thing you want in that long description is to
explain in very concise way what a json incremental digger is, and what
jiq does (I assume it does something more than what jid does), and what
it does better/more than jid.
