Lintian tag: too-long-extended-description-in-templates

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

Some debconf interfaces cannot deal very well with descriptions of more
than about 20 lines, so try to keep the extended description below this
limit.

Please refer to Section 6.5.3.2 of the Debian Developer's Reference for
details.

Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
