Thanks for your suggestion. I am using the text above with minor changes. Your contribution is acknowledged in debian/changelog (see version 0.1.3-2 of the packages in the usual repository [1]). I repeated the same description for all packages (libmtp5, libmtp-dev, libmtp-doc, and mtp-tools) with a paragraph "This package contains [...]" specific to each package. I think that the Wikipedia link is a good idea, although it may not be a common practice in Debian. Let us see how the other developers will react. The package seems to be in a good shape. I will upload it to unstable soon. Thanks to everybody who contributed. -- Rafael [1] http://people.debian.org/~rafael/libmtp/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
