+define Package/rsyncrypto/description
+  rsyncrypto is a utility that encrypts a file (or a directory structure) in a
+  way that ensures that local changes to the plain text file will result in
+  local changes to the cipher text file. This, in turn, ensures that doing rsync
+  to synchronize the encrypted files to another machine will have only a small
+  impact on rsync's efficiency.
