New issue 486 by computer... at ...626...: Debian packages have wrong  
description and title
http://code.google.com/p/gambas/issues/detail?id=486

1) The title becomes the description in the package due to a packaging  
format error (see below).

2) Version information

Version: Gambas 3.5.1
Operating system: Linux
Distribution: Mint 16 Xfce x86_64

3) Explain clearly how to reproduce the bug or the crash.
Create a DEB-package for Ubuntu or Debian (doesn't matter)
Open it with GDebi -> title-field is filled with description instead of  
title

To fix the bug, you need to add a new line, beginning with 1 space and  
after that the description. On the line above that, you need to set the  
title of the Gambas project.


This is in the control file of the DEB package (if you open the .deb file  
as Archive with File Roller, it's in /DEBIAN/control)

Example:
Description: PROGRAMNAME
  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM

Currently, the description of the program is where PROGRAMNAME should be.  
This is wrong and causes this bug. (above example is the correct way)
