commit 6a1a892fb8a9a453fe3163addc107fed1061e646
Author: gregor herrmann <gregoa at debian.org>

Change ${NAME} to ${OTHER_NAME} in long description.
The former gets expanded (to an empty string) by dpkg-gencontrol.
(And I have no idea how escaping works.)
Thanks: Jonas Smedegaard for the bug report and his patience in explaining the problem.
Closes: #806581

Description: string utility functions for expanding variables in self-referential sets
String::Expand implements utility functions for expanding embedded variables
in a string. Variable references are embedded in strings in a similar form to
- the Bourne shell, namely, in the form $NAME or ${NAME}. In the former case,
- the NAME must consist of a capital letter or underscore, and may be followed
- by zero or more capital letters, digits or underscores. In the latter case,
- the name can consist of any characters, but will be terminated by the first
- close brace character '}'.

.
This is especially useful if you want to expand environment variables
inside strings.
