3.4.1 The single line synopsis
------------------------------

The single line synopsis should be kept brief—certainly under 80
characters.

Do not include the package name in the synopsis line.  The display
software knows how to display this already, and you do not need to state
it.  Remember that in many situations the user may only see the synopsis
line - make it as informative as you can.
