+Tag: description-synopsis-starts-with-article
+Severity: warning
+Check: fields/description
+Explanation: The first line of the "Description:" should omit any initial indefinite
+ or definite article: "a", "an", or "the". A good heuristic is that it should
+ be possible to substitute the package <code>name</code> and <code>synopsis</code>
+ into this formula:
+ .
+ The package <code>name</code> provides {a,an,the,some} <code>synopsis</code>.
