Package: node-d3-contour
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the short description of node-d3-contour is truncated and continues to the 
first line of the long description.
For example see:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/node-d3-contour

or:
$ apt-cache show node-d3-contour
[...]
Description-en: Computes contour polygons by applying marching
 squares to a rectangular array.
 .
 Computes contour polygons by applying marching squares to a
 rectangular array of numeric values.
[...]

I think that the description line should end without a full stop like the 
majority of short descriptions):
Description-en: computes contour polygons by applying marching squares to a 
rectangular array

$ grep "^Description-en: .*\\.$" 
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.it.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_i18n_Translation-en
 | wc -l
306

The majority of descriptions start with a capital letter but this includes also 
proper nouns
$ grep "^Description-en: [A-Z]" 
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.it.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_i18n_Translation-en
 | wc -l
35889
$ grep "^Description-en: [a-z]" 
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.it.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_i18n_Translation-en
 | wc -l
19066
$ grep "^Description-en: " 
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.it.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_main_i18n_Translation-en
 | wc -l
55263


Thank you for your work in Debian,
Daniele
