Bug#711475: libsecret-tools: package description fails the "should I install this package?" test

Package: libsecret-tools
Version: 0.15-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The long descriptions of all packages built from the libsecret source
package are unusually short. For libsecret-tools it is even shorter. A
user with little clue about what is going on in the gnome world will be
unable to judge whether libsecret-tools is useful for her. So the long
description fails at one of its major tasks.

I suggest that you add a common paragraph to all packages built from
libsecret. It should explain what part of credentials management the
library solves.

For the libsecret-tools package some guidance of whether a prospective
user would install this package would be good. Maybe listing some of the
tools contained would be useful here.

Helmut
