Package: libxml-simple-ruby
Version: 1.0.11-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The libxml-simple-ruby package has a malformed Description field in
debian/control. The short description is missing completely, and the
long description has its first line where the short description should
go, leading to mangled display in package managers. (cf. Policy 5.6.13,
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Description).
Appended is a simple patch to solve this. I don't know much about the
package, so please correct as necessary. Is there a quick way to
describe what makes it different from libxml-ruby?
