+cpack-deb-package-description-fallback
+--------------------------------------
+
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module gained a new
+ :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION`
+ variable for component-specific package descriptions.
+
+* The :module:`CPackDeb` module changed its package description
+ override rules to match :module:`CPackRPM` module behavior.
+ If the :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE` variable is set to
+ a non-default location then it is preferred to the
+ :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY` variable.
+ This is a behavior change from previous versions but produces
+ more consistent and expected behavior.
+ See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION`.
