For details of how to write a Description field, please refer to the packaging guidelines installed as an Info document with recent versions of the dpkg program. Select `guidelines' from the main Info menu, and then `Appendix' from there. The second item, `How to write the Description control file field', is what you want. If you believe my script has a bug so that it has misinterpreted your package's Description and that the comment above therefore doesn't apply to your package, please let me know. If you think the language in the guidelines doesn't clearly enough forbid what you did, please let me know about that too. I have reported this to maintonly@bugs.debian.org. In order to close the report you should it Reply and edit the To field so that it contains NNNN-done@bugs.debian.org and my special iwj-descriptionreporter address. There is no need to CC debian-devel, as they will not have received a copy of this report. Here are the explanations for the faults the script has found: * No extended description: This means that the Description field was only one line long - ie, it didn't have any extended description at all. Every package should have an extended description which describes what the package does and its relationships to other packages, so that the user can decide whether to install it. The summary description I saw was: The french dictionary words for /usr/dict. Thank you for your time, Ian Jackson.   Reply sent to ontario@alcove.fr:
