Agreed.
A good practice to follow, when a group of packages are clearly pieces
of a larger conceptual package, is to have a single synopsis for the
whole, and a brief addendum on each actual package synopsis.
For example, assuming that ‘scmbug’ can be described as a
“frobnicator with spangulation”:
frobnicator with spangulation (common libraries)
frobnicator with spangulation (documentation)
frobnicator with spangulation (integration server)
frobnicator with spangulation (integration tools)
