Thomas, thanks for pointing out.
Kambe-san, thanks for fixing ruby18-base.

However, we have more instances in the tree that uses variables in DESCR.
A quick grep found the following packages:

converters/enriched2html
devel/bcc
editors/xcoral
lang/f2c
lang/ruby18
misc/libutf
pkgtools/x11-links
pkgtools/xpkgwedge
print/apsfilter
print/ja-vflib-lib
print/tex-musixtex
security/uvscan
sysutils/safetynet
textprox/ezxml
www/SpeedyCGI
www/lhs

Even one of them is owned by Kambe-san!

Should I file PRs for each package? ;)
Maybe we should have a check in the pkglint script.
