Description : A simple CLI to help you with setting up and managing your
Eludris instance

Located at https://github.com/eludris/eludris/tree/main/cli, this is a
package for creating an Eludris instance with ease. It is officially
supported and maintained by Eludris and reduces the barrier to entry for
new instance owners.

### Why is this package useful/relevant?

This CLI provides an easy way for users to create their own Eludris
instance from scratch. There are currently no alternatives as Eludris is
relatively new and this is an 'official' CLI.

### How do you plan to maintain it?

I am not all too sure how this works as this is my first time packaging
for Debian. I plan to maintain it solo for now, unless if anyone has any
better suggestions as to what team to maintain it under.

Please explain briefly in your package description what is an Eludris
instance and why it might be useful or interesting to a Debian user
who stumbles upon your package!

An Eludris instance is your own personally managed node of the Eludris
server protocol, found at https://github.com/eludris/eludris.

Still not very useful. Something like the first paragraph of the mage
you quote last:

  Eludris is a FOSS federated, End-To-End-Encrypted Discord x Reddit
  mesh-like social media platform where the priority is for it to be
  truly yours.

I'd even prefer it to be without the hype (starting at "where the
priority..."). Having this explanation makes clear what the package is
about and whether you should be interested or not.
