[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#493512: Bug#493512: libasound2 needs better short description

[Jordi Mallach]

Dan, thanks for the suggestion.

However, a few of them are a bit too long for a short description:

3.4.1. The single line synopsis
-------------------------------

     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.

> -Description: ALSA library development files (64 bit)
> +Description: user-space library development files (64-bit) for ALSA application programming on multi-arch systems

Can we come up with something a bit shorter for all of the flavours?

Thanks,
Jordi
