Dear Maintainer,

Thanks for packaging krb5

   * What led up to the situation?

I was translating the package description of krb5-locales into Spanish, and I
noticed the English original short description begins with Uppercase instead of
lowercase.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

As per https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch06.en.html
#bpp-pkg-synopsis , begin the short description with lowercase.

I've cloned the git repo of krb5 and edited the control file, which includes
the description for several packages. I've changed into lowercase the initial
letter of the corresponding descriptions (didn't change the ones that begin
with Acronyms etc).
Then I git commit, and then git format-patch -1
Attached the patch.

I'm not a packager so I'm not sure if modifying this file is enough.
