Package: dictionaries-common-dev
Version: 1.28.1
Severity: normal

The current lintian version 2.85.0 throws the following error(!) on
all my ispell and wordlist packages that where build with
dictionaries-common-dev:

E: iogerman: no-template-description iogerman/languages
N: 
N:    The templates file contains a template without a "Description:" field.
N:    
N:    Refer to Configuration management chapter 3 (Templates) and the
N:    debconf-devel(7) manual page for details.

E: iogerman: no-template-description shared/packages-ispell
E: wogerman: no-template-description shared/packages-wordlist
E: wogerman: no-template-description wogerman/languages


The template files are generated by
/usr/share/dictionaries-common/debconf/templates-ispell or
/usr/share/dictionaries-common/debconf/templates-wordlist
which both create an empty "Description:" line like this:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/wogerman.templates:
---------------- snipp ---------------
Template: shared/packages-wordlist
Type: text
Description:

Template: wogerman/languages
Type: text
Default: deutsch (Old German)
Description:
---------------- snipp ---------------

or /var/lib/dpkg/info/iogerman.templates
---------------- snipp ---------------
Template: shared/packages-ispell
Type: text
Description:

Template: iogerman/languages
Type: text
Default: deutsch (Old German -tex mode-), deutsch (Old German 8 bit)
Description:
---------------- snipp ---------------

Seems that the templates should be changed to contain a non empty
Description field.
