Comment 3 for bug 1166230

I'll assign to mpt for suggestions, but I suspect he'll rightly say that this is really a bug with those packages, and you shouldn't blame the container for its contents.

Specifically, Debian policy says this about the one-line description synopsis: "Remember that in many situations the user may only see the synopsis line - make it as informative as you can. " Clearly "transitional dummy package" could not be described as informative.

Most of these transitional packages can be identified by "Section: oldlibs", so we could actually group them separately if we wanted to.
