commit 6a1a892fb8a9a453fe3163addc107fed1061e646 Author: gregor herrmann <gre...@debian.org> Date: Sun Nov 29 16:49:05 2015 +0100 Change ${NAME} to ${OTHER_NAME} in long description. The former gets expanded (to an empty string) by dpkg-gencontrol. (And I have no idea how escaping works.) Thanks: Jonas Smedegaard for the bug report and his patience in explaining the problem.
