Bug#559413: drm-modules-source: please, improve package description.



Package: drm-modules-source
Version: 2.4.11+git+20090630+de1ed01-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

The drm-modules-source package description is really short and doesn't
explain why a user should install it. (Is it related to libdrm? What is
the benefit of using it).

Here's a proposed addition (borrowed from DRI wiki):
> Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) is a component of the Direct Rendering
> Infrastructure. DRI is a framework for allowing direct access to 
> graphics hardware under the X Window System in a safe and efficient
> manner.
>
> > This package provides the source code for the DRM kernel modules.
> > The DRM library requires these kernel modules for correct operation.
> >
> > This package is built from a snapshot of DRM development code, to 
> > provide the features necessary for testing new X.org drivers (such as 
> > Nouveau) Do NOT expect this package to be stable!


Shouldn't this package declare "Enhances: libdrm*" in order to clarify
which library would use this module.

Regards,

Franklin
