Package: alien Version: 8.81 I'm using alien to convert a tarball into a Debian package. When I install the newly created package and search for it using `apt-cache search`, I get the following:
$ apt-cache search checksum ... pt-table-checksum - Converted tgz package To me "Converted tgz package" is kind of useless. I've provided a --description to `alien` when building, but it doesn't use my description as the parameter to `summary` for Alien::Package. It's only use is to concat it onto the full description (useless with apt-cache search). I suggest using the --description option for the one-liner summary if provided so that I get the following: $ apt-cache search checksum ... pt-table-checksum - Percona table checksum (Verify MySQL replication integrity) I'm using Debian Squeeze.
