[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#644663: Regarding long description (feature request)

Package: sigma-align
Versions: sigma-align (1.1.3-1)


This is just a feature requst, no errors were encountered.

The two enteces in description is both very technical and long.
This makes it hard to read and also hard to translate.

I suggest breaking it up into two sections of two and four sentences
respectively.


==============================
* Long description *
Sigma (“Simple greedy multiple alignment”) is an alignment program with a
new algorithm and scoring scheme designed specifically for non-coding DNA
sequence. It uses a strategy of seeking the best possible gapless local
alignments, at each step making the best possible alignment consistent with
existing alignments, and scores the significance of the alignment based on
the lengths of the aligned fragments and a background model which may be
supplied or estimated from an auxiliary file of intergenic DNA.
