The description of the usbutils package is the same as it's synopsis.
It mentions that it includes tools but only mentions one.  It would be
nice if the description provided further information.

Would you like to submit a patch with a better description?

Subject: [bug#34829] [PATCH] gnu: usbutils: Make package description different
 from synopsis.
Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2019 21:24:45 -0400
This is one of my first patches to Guix.  Feedback is appreciated.

This patch provides a description for usbutils.  Previously the
description was just a copy of the synopsis.

After looking at the usbutils readme I understand why the description
was a copy of the synopsis.  There is not a lot of information on the
usbutils readme.  So looking for additional information I ran `locate
usbutils` which listed these binaries:

lsusb
usb-devices
usbhid-dump

I have taking into account the descriptions from their man pages as well
as the usbutils readme and attempted a new description for usbutils.

There is a linting warning which is independent of this patch.
`guix lint usbutils`
usbutils <at> 010: URI http://www.linux-usb.org/ returned suspiciously small
file (369 bytes)

These build commands are successful:
guix build --rounds=4 usbutils
guix build --system=armhf-linux --rounds=4 usbutils
guix build --system=aarch64-linux --rounds=4 usbutils

This seems to be because the website uses frames
for all its actual content.

I guess it's best to ignore the warning. Not sure if
the linter could be made intelligent enough to
handle this correctly.
