Or "displaying tools". Where do you see the sentence like this?
debian/control in git looks like this:

 String::Expand implements utility functions for expanding embedded variables
 in a string. Variable references are embedded in strings in a similar form to
 the Bourne shell, namely, in the form $NAME or ${NAME}. In the former case,

I can reproduce the missing word when building the package and
calling debc.
