[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#854675: npm2deb: template for ITP should strongly encourage writing a proper package description

[Ben Finney]

Package: npm2deb
Version: 0.2.6-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The ‘npm2deb’ tool can automatically generate an ITP report. One field
that it automatically generates is the package description.

This unfortunately makes it very easy to submit *bad* ITP reports,
with package descriptions that are quite unsuitable for Debian ITPs.

Please make the ITP template produce a document that strongly
encourages the maintainer to manually edit the description, to meet
Developer's Reference guidelines in §6.2.1 – §6.2.3.

Attached is my suggested patch for this.
