N:
W: libghc-choice-dev: description-synopsis-starts-with-article
N: 
N:   The first line of the "Description:" should omit any initial indefinite or
N:   definite article: "a", "an", or "the". A good heuristic is that it should
N:   be possible to substitute the package name and synopsis into this formula:
N:   
N:   The package name provides {a,an,the,some} synopsis.
N: 
N:   Please refer to The package synopsis, or short description (Section 6.2.2)
N:   in the Debian Developer's Reference for details.

W: libghc-choice-dev: initial-upload-closes-no-bugs [usr/share/doc/libghc-choice-dev/changelog.Debian.gz:1]
N: 
N:   This package appears to be the first packaging of a new upstream software
N:   package (there is only one changelog entry and the Debian revision is 1),
N:   but it does not close any bugs. The initial upload of a new package should
N:   close the corresponding ITP bug for that package.
N:   
N:   This warning can be ignored if the package is not intended for Debian or
N:   if it is a split of an existing Debian package.
N: 
N:   Please refer to New packages (Section 5.1) in the Debian Developer's
N:   Reference for details.
