First, a sentence does not need to have a predicate. I know that for 99% sure in german and the english wikipedia article seems to suggest the same. Correct me if I am wrong. Second, there are valid descriptions that are full ordinary sentences without referencing ${PN}: "Access a working SSH implementation by means of a library". In addition, repoman doesn't check for full sentences that reference ${PN}, such as: "Portage is the package management and distribution system for Gentoo". So we have another (useless) repoman warning with false positives.
