Description file is not generated

Hi, Arch Linux User Repository maintainer here, my the question is similar that #2.

I am not sure if the Description.in should change to Description in the compilation process,

I am unable to reproduce the problem; the file DESCRIPTION is already in the tarball https://github.com/mmarzolla/queueing/releases/download/1.2.8/queueing-1.2.8.tar.gz and I can install it (almost) cleanly:

The warning about the missing help text has been fixed, and the patch will be included in the next package release.
