Quoting http://bugs.debian.org/209569
If this package is being generated from a single source package and you already provide a full description in your control file for the main package, you might want to use it automatically in sub-packages. If this is the case consider using ${description}, and debian/substvars. Can you tell where using ${description} and debian/substvars being documented, and give some examples for package which are made from a single source package and automate using the description in sub-packages? -- Shaul Karl, shaulk @ actcom . net . il -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
