So, since one can *clearly* tell exactly what a package is by simply reading the package name, all descriptions are completly irrevelant and might as well be removed. Fine. Go make a proposal to that end. As it is, you're spewing nonsense that is not backed up by policy. > I think that duplication > would be misplaced, since it's common to all section lib/ and -dev packages, No it isn't. It's common to lib and dev packages with lazy maintainers. None of *my* lib and dev packages have this problem. Nor do a small majority of lib and dev packages. > Pull your horns in Manoj.
