Final Comment

Hi,

Some poor packaging hygeine here around the description and such - see the Lintian report for the details. The licensing is fine though, so there's that...

Thanks!

N: 
N:   One or more lines in the extended part of the "Description:" field have
N:   been found to contain more than 80 characters. For the benefit of users of
N:   80x25 terminals, it is recommended that the lines do not exceed 80
N:   characters.
N: 
N:   Please refer to The single line synopsis (Section 3.4.1) in the Debian
N:   Policy Manual for details.

N:
W: python3-borgstore: no-manual-page [usr/bin/borgstore-server-rest]
N: 
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N:   a manual page
N:   
N:   Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N:   program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N:   own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N:   sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N:   support this.
N:   
N:   If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N:   able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N:   exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:   
N:   If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N:   depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N:   available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N:   pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N:   Lintian override.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N:   for details.

W: python3-borgstore: possible-unindented-list-in-extended-description line 21
N: 
N:   The package "Description:" contains an unindented line which starts with a
N:   dash (-) or asterisk (*). If this was meant to be a list of items these
N:   lines need to be indented (dselect would word-wrap these lines otherwise).
N: 
N:   Please refer to Description (Section 5.6.13) in the Debian Policy Manual
N:   for details.
