Sets a short, non-empty synopsis for the ASP.NET Core runtime Debian package and preserves the targeting pack summary and package-specific description.

SharedFxProductName is assigned after project evaluation, so using it in these projects produced an empty first line and caused Debian tools to display the long description as the synopsis.

Contributes to #64105.

Pull request overview

Adjusts Debian package metadata for the ASP.NET Core runtime/targeting pack so Debian tools display a short, non-empty synopsis (first line) while keeping the intended long descriptions.

Changes:

  • Runtime Debian package: replace PackageSummary based on SharedFxProductName (empty at evaluation time) with an evaluation-time-safe summary using SharedFxName + VersionPrefix.
  • Targeting pack Debian package: stop overwriting the targeting-pack-specific summary/description with shared framework values.
