Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The first line of the "Description:" should omit any initial indefinite or
definite article: "a", "an", or "the". A good heuristic is that it should
be possible to substitute the package name and synopsis into this formula:
The package name provides {a,an,the,some} synopsis.
Please refer to The package synopsis, or short description (Section 6.2.2)
in the Debian Developer's Reference for details.
