Lintian tag: description-contains-invalid-control-statement

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The description contains an invalid control statement.

A control statement is a line starting with a dot (.). The only control
statement is defined by the policy is a single dot denoting an empty line.

The "empty-line" control statement does not permit any characters
following it on the same line. Therefore, the line must consist entirely
of a space followed by a dot.

Please refer to Description (Section 5.6.13) in the Debian Policy Manual
for details.
