Bug#641086: cpanminus: package description do not respect the Debian general guidelines

[Davide Prina]

Package: cpanminus
Severity: minor

The "General guidelines for package descriptions"[1] say:

1) The first paragraph of the long description should answer the 
following questions: what does the package do? what task does it help 
the user accomplish?

These answers are found only in the short description: "script to get, 
unpack, build and install modules from CPAN"

2) The following paragraphs should answer the following questions: Why 
do I as a user need this package? What other features does the package 
have? What outstanding features and deficiencies are there compared to 
other packages (e.g., if you need X, use Y instead)? Is this package 
related to other packages in some way that is not handled by the package 
manager (e.g., this is the client for the foo server)?

but the following paragraphs describe only where the CPAN module will be 
installed.

Please try to add a more complete package description

Ciao
Davide
