# `too-long-short-description-in-templates`

The short description should be kept short (50 characters or so) so that it may be accommodated by most debconf interfaces. Keeping it short also helps translators, as usually translations tend to end up being longer than the original.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
