Typical example:
DESCRIPTION="I am a fish"
inherit eutils
End result:
DESCRIPTION="Based on the eutils eclass"
Some eclasses set DESCRIPTION. This is one of the many reasons that
inherit should go as early up the ebuild as possible.
List, which may be utterly wrong, of packages that either do this or
have DESCRIPTION=$PN, as of when I last ran cvs upd:
