                      you should omit this

From the debian-policy (section 5.7.1):

     The single line synopsis should be kept brief - certainly under 80
     characters.

     Do not include the package name in the synopsis line.  The display
     software knows how to display this already, and you do not need to
     state it.  Remember that in many situations the user may only see the
     synopsis line - make it as informative as you can.

I hope this helps,
Jochen
