Package: xorg-x11 Severity: minor The X development packages currently have incomplete descriptions such as:
Header files and a static version of the SM library are provided by this package. . See the libsm6 package for further information. While this seems to be an increasingly common practice, it appears to be against policy and even if there is an exception for this, it is certainly user-unfriendly. Rationale: Most package selection front ends, including aptitude, only display the description for the current package. References to the descriptions of other packages thus require a rather large number of keystrokes to read (compared to 0 (zero) for the description of the package itself). I respectfully suggest that the phrase "see the XXXX package for further information" in these cases be replaced by the actual description of that package. It may be preferable for this to be done by a script, so future changes to the description of XXXX are automagically reflected in the -dev package.
