From the debian-policy (section 5.7.1):
The single line synopsis should be kept brief - certainly under 80
characters.
Do not include the package name in the synopsis line. The display
software knows how to display this already, and you do not need to
state it. Remember that in many situations the user may only see the
synopsis line - make it as informative as you can.
I hope this helps,
Jochen
