Probably nothing, just like for packages that do not have a binary package with the same name as the source package. Example: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/glibc Otherwise, if there is a rule about the description in the case where there is a binary package with the same name as the source package, some filtering could be done based on the requirements. For instance, specific strings such as "(metapackage)" (or more generally, the whole parenthesized text) could be removed. > You know that the source package itself does not have a description > field at all.
