description-synopsis-starts-with-article
The first line of the "Description:" should omit any initial indefinite
or definite article: "a", "an", or "the". A good heuristic is that it should
be possible to substitute the package name
and synopsis
into this formula:
The package name
provides {a,an,the,some} synopsis
.
Severity: | warning |
Experimental: | false |
