Dear Maintainer,

Thanks for packaging rasmol

   * What led up to the situation?

I was translating the package description of rasmol-doc into Spanish, and I
noticed the English original short description begins with Uppercase instead of
lowercase.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

As per https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch06.en.html
#bpp-pkg-synopsis , begin the short description with lowercase.

I've cloned the git repo of rasmol and edited the control file, which includes
the description for both packages. I've changed into lowercase the initial
letter of the descriptions.
Then I git commit, and then git format-patch -1
Attached the patch.

I'm not a packager so I'm not sure if modifying this file is enough.
