Final Comment
Hi,
Packaging quality issues
-
Truncated Description synopsis (debian/control)
Description: Annotations used to express developer intentions that can't otherwise
The synopsis is cut off mid-sentence. Upstream's full text (from pubspec.yaml:5) is "…intentions that can't otherwise be deduced by statically analyzing source code." The synopsis should be a complete sentence.
- Contraction in Description (Policy 3.4.1)
The synopsis uses "can't" (and the extended description inherits the same wording). Debian Policy §3.4.1 says descriptions should avoid contractions ("can't" → "cannot"). Minor, but a genuine standards issue.
Thanks!
