Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.21-1

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. 

13 Package: alsa-utils
19 Description: ALSA utilities
