Bug#503192: Acronym DRM needs expansion to "Direct Rendering Manager"
Package: libdrm2
Version: 2.3.1-2
The acronym DRM shown in the package description for libdrm2 could use
some clarification so that the novice and intermediate users know that
it stands for "Direct Rendering Manager" and is related to OpenGL.
apt-cache search libdrm2 gives a line in which the context of "DRM" is
unclear:
libdrm2 - Userspace interface to kernel DRM services -- runtime
libdrm2-dbg - Userspace interface to kernel DRM \
services -- debugging symbols
The package description is excellent:
This library implements the userspace interface to the
kernel DRM services. DRM stands for "Direct Rendering
Manager", which is the kernelspace portion of the
"Direct Rendering Infrastructure" (DRI). The DRI is
currently used on Linux to provide hardware-accelerated
OpenGL drivers.

What can be borrowed from the description and put into the short
description that "apt-cache search" displays something associated with
rendering? (rather than restriction)
