That's *way* too long for a short description. It's needs to be fairly short, say 60 chars, so that it displays properly in aptitude et. al. on an 80 column screen. Also, you don't repeat the package name in the short description. Perhaps: Description: visual database design, modeling, and maintenance tool Now, usually I ding people for long descriptions that are too short, but in this case, it may be too long. Also, you duplicated the General Information section. Don't repeat the short description in the long description. Thing about some user browsing the packages, and consider that they'll (usually) only be able to see the first 15 lines or so without scrolling. What would you want to know? What would be sufficient to make it worth scrolling through the rest? What is trivia that is better left to the README? For example: DBDesigner 4 compares to products like Oracle's Designer?, IBM's Rational Rose?, Computer Associates's ERwin? and theKompany's DataArchitect? but is an Open Source Project available for Microsoft Windows? 2k/XP and Linux KDE/Gnome. It is release on the GPL. Let's see, it's in Debian main, so I know that it's a) Linux and b) free. The rest is advertising. I had to scroll through 30 lines to find out what database it supports. Is it really mysql only?
