Thank you, it looks fine now.

I've made `package-desc-keywords' private so that someone can implement 
a more general solution later, but the immediate issue seems to be fixed.

The problem is not nlinum-specific. Installing anything from ELPA
complains about the :keywords in the define-package:

In toplevel form:
debbugs-pkg.el:1:1:Warning: `"comm"' is a malformed function

In toplevel form:
rainbow-mode-pkg.el:1:1:Warning: `"faces"' is a malformed function

etc.
