Description Linn cendio 2024-11-11 10:21:07 CET 
Our .rpm-files use a text from thinlinc-client.spec.in as a "Description" for the package. When converting the .rpm to a .deb, the description gets cut off after the first line of text.

Saw this in 4.17.0post, but it was also present in 4.17.0 so it is not a regression. We used this command to see the description:
> dpkg-deb -I <.deb-file>

We checked a few other deb-packages, and it is not common practice to just have one line of text as the description.
