That's right. I just copied verbatim the short description in the
upstream web page, whitout turning my brain on.
It would be better (and Policy complaint) "zip password cracker",
or "password cracker for zip archives".
Hmmm, the second one is better, isn't it?

Did You notice the "zip" part of the description?
This program cracks the zip archives protected with a password...
AFAIK neither john or crack are able to do this. At least, their man
pages does not mention it anywhere. Neither I found anything similar
querying apt-cache with "zip", "password" or "crack".

I will retitle the bug with the correct short description.
I must also remember to rip off "free" from the long one.

Bye,
Francesco
