Small fix to use '$desc' instead of '$1' in lib-proto-disable.sh.
Even for a trivial fixup like this, I think it's good to say why.
Because what seems trivial and obvious to you while working on the patch
may not be so to a reviewer, or somebody reading it 6 months later.

Just something simple like:

  The test_proto function assigns the positional parameters to named
  variables, but then still refers to "$desc" as "$1". Using $desc is
  more readable and less error-prone.

Alright will do.  Commit messages don't seem to be an area of strength
for me, but I'm working on it! :D
It's possible that I'm overly picky about my commit messages, but that
does not stop me from trying to train an army of picky-commit-message
clones. :)
