I'll reply to the followup with reviews, which means I get to use this reply to check that I've understood the basics. It took me quite a lot of reading webpages about LSP and so on to work out what any of this was talking about. I gather it's basically for generating C#-specific popup hints and the like in Visual Studio, or (therefore) Debian-control-file-specific hints in Emacs (or just conceivably vi)? So the strings in question are basically chopped up reminders of stuff out of Debian Policy, and if I was a DD working on a new package in my favourite integrated development environment this would be a really handy new bell and/or whistle it could provide. Fortunately, debputy's intended users are bound to be quicker to understand this context than I was, and non-developers reading the debputy package description get to see that it's in section: devel. Most people won't see "language server protocol" and immediately start thinking about C-3PO, the way I naturally do...
