Bug Description
For the binary packages libegl-mesa, libegl1-mesa-dbg, libegl1-mesa-dev, libegl1-
1. The package titles (Synopses) don't even mention Mesa. They all start with "Free implementation of the EGL API --", which is very wordy when they are listed together. <https:/
I suggest that they be changed to "Mesa OpenGL Graphics", "Mesa OpenGL Graphics — debugging symbols", "Mesa OpenGL Graphics — hardware drivers", and so on.
2. The package descriptions all seem to contradict themselves. They all have a first paragraph that begins "This package contains the EGL native platform graphics interface library", but then have a second paragraph that begins "This package contains..." followed by their actual contents. If the packages *together* make up the library, then the first sentence would be better as "...contains part of of...", but better still would be a sentence describing what Mesa actually is.
