+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+dwz: DWARF optimization and duplicate removal tool
+dwz: dwz is a program that attempts to optimize DWARF debugging
+dwz: information contained in ELF shared libraries and ELF executables for
+dwz: size, by replacing DWARF information representation with equivalent
+dwz: smaller representation where possible and by reducing the amount of
+dwz: duplication using techniques from DWARF standard appendix E -
+dwz: creating DW_TAG_partial_unit compilation units (CUs) for duplicated
+dwz: information and using DW_TAG_imported_unit to import it into each CU
+dwz: that needs it. see https://sourceware.org/git/?p=dwz.git;a=summary
