Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
You should avoid the use of first person ("I will do this..." or "We
recommend..."). The computer is not a person and the description does not
speak for the maintainer or maintainers. Instead, use a more neutral
construction and try to rephrase into factual statements about the
package.
For example, rather than saying "I don't recommend this package if you are
short on memory," say something like "this package is not suitable for
low-memory systems."
