commit 891d81f2d6d074a4212e56f06b86950af2f18582
Author: Guus Sliepen <guus at debian.org>

    Narrow the description down to what the library actually does.
    
    The library implements a function to calculate the Shannon index only
    on byte streams, not on any other type of data. This value is not a
    measure of theoretical maximum compressibility as one would normally
    think of.
