Lintian tag: synopsis-is-a-sentence
Type: information
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The package synopsis (also known as the "short" description, ie. the first
line in the package's "Description:" field) either ends with a full stop
"." character or starts another sentence.
This is not necessary as the synopsis does not need to be a full sentence.
It is recommended that a single descriptive phrase is used instead.
Note also that the synopsis is not part of the rest of the "long"
Description: field.
Please refer to The package synopsis, or short description (Section 6.2.2)
in the Debian Developer's Reference for details.
