[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#974068: aho-corasick: useless description, no man page, no --help output

[Johannes 'josch' Schauer]

Package: aho-corasick
Version: 0.6.9-1
Severity: important

Hi,

the package description says:

> Description-en: Fast multiple substring searching with finite state machines
>  This package contains the following binaries built from the Rust crate
>  "aho-corasick":
>   - aho-corasick-dot

Okay, so this tool is like grep? Or what?

I installed it and found:

$ man aho-corasick-dot
No manual entry for aho-corasick-dot
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.

When I run "aho-corasick-dot --help" I get something that looks like a
graphviz dot graph.

What is this tool doing?

Also, when I use codesearch:

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=This+package+contains+the+following+binaries+built+from+the+Rust+crate&literal=1

Then there are a lot of packages which just say "This package contains
the following binaries built from the Rust crate" in their long
description. How is this useful?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
