I definitely agree that this is a good idea. I've added instructions for those tags and went through the rest of shared-libs. I think it's best to deal with these on a case-by-case basis (unless anyone feels like doing a comprehensive audit of all of our tag descriptions, but there are 770 tags), so please open a bug whenever you see a tag where the existing details aren't sufficient. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
