Yes.
In general, all Debian packages should follow the Debian Developer's
Reference guide on package descriptions:
It's a good idea to think of the synopsis as an appositive clause,
not a full sentence. An appositive clause is defined in WordNet as
a grammatical relation between a word and a noun phrase that
follows, e.g., "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer". The appositive
clause here is "red-nosed reindeer". Since the synopsis is a
clause, rather than a full sentence, we recommend that it neither
start with a capital nor end with a full stop (period). It should
also not begin with an article, either definite ("the") or
indefinite ("a" or "an").
