The only package for which rpmlint complains about the length of the
description line is the debuginfo package. The definition of the description of
the debuginfo package is not part if the specfile, but is defined in the
%debug_info macro. Any package that has a name longer that 27 characters will
trip on this.

[ellert at ellert ~]$ rpm -E %debug_package

%ifnarch noarch
%package debuginfo 
Summary: Debug information for package %{name}
Group: Development/Debug
AutoReqProv: 0
%description debuginfo
This package provides debug information for package %{name}.
Debug information is useful when developing applications that use this
package or when debugging this package.
%files debuginfo -f debugfiles.list
%defattr(-,root,root)
%endif

I can't do much about this except redefining the macro, which I find to be an
overkill.

When I first saw this rpmlint error I checked what other packages had done.
There are many packages in Fedora with names longer than 27 characters. The
current practice seems to be to ignore this error for debuginfo packages. (See
bug 525304, bug 523326, bug 516516, bug 498189, bug 496429 and others.)
