Package: alsaplayer Severity: wishlist Each of the alsaplayer-* modules contain the same description spam.
Alsaplayer is a PCM player designed specifically for use with ALSA, but works great with OSS or EsounD. It's heavily threaded which cuts down on skipping, offers optional and even simultaneous visual scopes, plays mp3, mp2, ogg, cdda, audiofs, and lots more. This spam makes it difficult to search for things like apt-cache search ogg oss as I get, alsaplayer-alsa - PCM player designed for ALSA (ALSA output module) alsaplayer-common - PCM player designed for ALSA (common files) alsaplayer-daemon - PCM player designed for ALSA (non-interactive version) alsaplayer-esd - PCM player designed for ALSA (EsounD output module) alsaplayer-gtk - PCM player designed for ALSA (GTK+ version) alsaplayer-jack - PCM player designed for ALSA (JACK output module) alsaplayer-nas - PCM player designed for ALSA (NAS output module) alsaplayer-oss - PCM player designed for ALSA (OSS output module) alsaplayer-text - PCM player designed for ALSA (text version) alsaplayer-xosd - PCM player designed for ALSA (osd version) and alsaplayer-jack has nothing to do with oss or even ogg. It is just a Jack output module for alsaplayer. Could you please remove the long description spam from all these packages and instead only use it in the main package? I would suggest alsaplayer-common (it almost seems it should be called alsaplayer without the -common ;). The rest of the binary packages could just use descriptions as, Package: alsaplayer-alsa Description: ALSA output module for alsaplayer This is a module for alsaplayer that will output the sound through ALSA. .
