--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs21 Version: 21.3-1 Severity: important Justification: section 2.3.3 Your package does not comply with the policy as it does not provide a proper extended descrition. Policy section 2.3.3 states: The description should be written so that it gives the system administrator enough information to decide whether to install the package. Take in account that package descriptions are very important to administrators to determine wether a package is (or isn't) useful for them and are used by package frontends in order to implement keyword-based searchs (samples include command line tools such as 'apt-cache search X' or 'grep-dctrl -F Description X' or even fancier interfaces such as 'dpkg-iasearch'). If you need help to provide a proper description for your package you are advised to digest the README/manpages/HTML files provided by the package or, as a last resort, request help at the debian-devel mailing list. If this package is being generated from a single source package and you already provide a full description in your control file for the main package, you might want to use it automatically in sub-packages. If this is the case consider using ${description}, and debian/substvars. This report has been automatically generated and the main reason is that the package has an extended description which is only one line long. Regards Javier Fernandez-Sanguino PS: For more information please read the Debian Policy or the thread at debian-devel started by Message-ID: <[email protected]> which is available at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200306/msg01257.html
