Package: gitpkg Version: 0.29 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Please add a git-debcherry summary description to the package description. Adding the name of the command and its summary will help in discovery, for example with `apt search debcherry`. I think it would be ideal if the command summaries in Description were taken verbatim from the man pages. I also prefer the imperative mood in the man pages to the indicative mood used currently. I've attached a patch that does this. However, I find the gitpkg man summary harder to understand, maybe a new combination of the two could be used in both places? -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gitpkg depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.19.7 ii git 1:2.23.0-1 gitpkg recommends no packages.
