New comment by paper42 on void-packages repository

Comment:
* it's shorter and cleaner, I don't have to remember all 3 variables and what's usually in them
* unifies the short_desc style
* makes sure the $depends version restriction is always the same
* it's a good practice to do things like this - if we for example wanted to add transitional=yes (that would tell xbps to mark this package as automatically installed and mark all $depends as manually installed) to every transitional package, we can easily do it in one place instead of figuring out which packages are transitional and changing it in hundreds of places.
