+    (description
+     "This package (formerly binary-serialise-cbor) provides pure,
+efficient serialization of Haskell values directly into ByteStrings for
+storage or transmission purposes.  By providing a set of type class instances,
+you can also serialise any custom data type you have as well.
+
+The underlying binary format used is the 'Concise Binary Object
+Representation', or CBOR, specified in RFC 7049.  As a result, serialised
+Haskell values have implicit structure outside of the Haskell program itself,
+meaning they can be inspected or analyzed without custom tools.
+
+An implementation of the standard bijection between CBOR and JSON is
+provided by the https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cborg-json
+package.  Also see https://hackage.haskell.org/package/cbor-tool for a
+convenient command-line utility for working with CBOR data.")
