Packet sniffing beast? Seriously?

This is the tackiest description I have ever seen in debian. Whats worse is 
that it does a poor job of describing 
the contents of the package. Upstream aptly refers to this as a "toolkit."  
After reading the sophmoric description 
of "packet sniffing beast" I doubt the average user would expect to find the 
following programs in the package:

    trafgen, a multithreaded low-level zero-copy network packet generator
    mausezahn, high-level packet generator for HW/SW appliances with Cisco-CLI*
    flowtop, a top-like netfilter connection tracking tool
    curvetun, a lightweight curve25519-based IP tunnel
    astraceroute, an autonomous system (AS) trace route utility
 

Debian Policy 3.4.1 The single line synopsis

"Remember that in many situations the user may only see the synopsis line - 
make it as informative as you can."
