Hello.
([EMAIL PROTECTED])~/test/potracegui$lintian potracegui_1.2-1_i386.changes
W: potracegui: description-synopsis-starts-with-a-capital-letter
([EMAIL PROTECTED])~/test/potracegui$
That's of course true, but description is: KDE frontend for potrace
Maybe it would be reasonable to make some exceptions for this check?
Some which came to my mind:
GNOME, KDE, X11, GNU, SVGAlib...
Just take a look how popular is starting description with KDE and GNOME:
([EMAIL PROTECTED])~$apt-cache search KDE | grep "\- KDE" | wc -l
179
([EMAIL PROTECTED])~$apt-cache search GNOME | grep "\- GNOME" | wc -l
84
([EMAIL PROTECTED])~$
regards

* checks/*.desc,doc/lintian.sgml:
+ [JvW] Stop bugging us for exceptions, mmkay, just install overrides.
Hints like this should be in the general documentation anyway, not in
per-tag descriptions. The general documentation will now only ask to
contact us if in doubt
* checks/changelog-file{,desc}:
+ [JvW] (new test) Bark on @toplevel email signatures in changelogs
+ [JvW] Display invalid debmake email address upon detection
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [CW] Add tclx8.4 to %known_tclxs.
* checks/description:
+ [SRL] Do not generate warnings when a short description starts with an
article; this is good grammar and should not be discouraged.
(Closes: #290505)
+ [JvW] Drop description-synopsis-starts-with-a-capital-letter by popular
demand (Closes: #288568)
* checks/files{,.desc}:
+ [JvW] Warn only for hardlinks in /etc or amongst different directories
(Closes: #288634)
+ [JvW] Only check for desktop files in GNOME's and KDE's obsolete places,
not in all the package, as KDE uses .desktop files also for other
purposes (Closes: #289773)
* checks/nmu.desc:
+ [JvW] Be more precise in explaining why lintian thinks this is a NMU,
and copy explanation to changelog-should-mention-nmu
* checks/scripts{,.desc}:
+ [CW] Add checks for tclsh8.4 and wish8.4. (Closes: #288287)
