+%global common_description This package contains definitions for the Pandoc data structure, which\
+is used by pandoc to represent structured documents. These definitions\
+used to live in the pandoc package, but they have been split off, so\
+that other packages can use them without drawing in all of pandoc's\
+dependencies, and pandoc itself can depend on packages (like\
+citeproc-hs) that use them.
