Package: linux Version: 3.8.11-1 Severity: minor The descriptions of linux-headers packages are redundant. For example, 3.8-1-486's reads:
This package provides the architecture-specific kernel header files for Linux kernel 3.8-1-486, generally used for building out-of-tree kernel modules. These files are going to be installed into /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8-1-486, and can be used for building modules that load into the kernel provided by the linux-image-3.8-1-486 package.
It would also help to start with a general description before getting specific. Also, the description shouldn't assume the reader did not install the package. I suggest, for this example:
This package provides header files used to compile loadable kernel modules for Linux. These are generally used for building out-of-tree modules. This package provides the header files corresponding to the linux-image-3.8-1-486 package, in /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8-1-486/.
Finally, the short description is unclear on what headers are provided. Instead of "Header files for Linux 486 configuration (meta-package)", I suggest:
LKM header files for Linux 486 configuration (meta-package)
