synopsis-is-a-sentence
The package synopsis (also known as the "short" description, ie. the first line in the package's "Description:" field) either ends with a full stop "." character or starts another sentence.
This is not necessary as the synopsis does not need to be a full sentence. It is recommended that a single descriptive phrase is used instead.
Note also that the synopsis is not part of the rest of the "long" Description: field.
