Can you tell where using ${description} and debian/substvars being

I figured out how to do this for a package not in debian. If using debhelper,
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200307/ msg00630.html
may help you.As an aside, I don't think substvars is well suited to this purpose (for example, you need to use ${Newline} to format a description properly), and I'd prefer if those who don't use it didn't recommend using it.
