I have a few errors when using 'sudo dpkg -I blah.deb' to install the .deb file

dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 5 package
...
missing description
missing maintainer
missing version

I have .csproj fields for <Description><Company><Authors> <VersionPrefix><VersionSuffix> so not sure if these are the ones that are supposed to map into the .deb control file or if the information is supposed to come from somewhere else. I'm looking in the project for examples or notes on this.

Turns out a read of the control file standards at https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html and adjusting the description field solves the problem. dotnet-packaging does not appear to trim the contents of <description> in .csproj.
