Package: fcitx-bin Version: 1:4.1.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch The project's homepage explains the "fcitx" acronym as either "Free Chinese Input Toy of X" or "Free Chinese Input Toy for X".
I have a lot of trouble to make any sense of the former description. The latter description makes a bit more sense allthough I'm at a loss, what "Toy" could possibly be meaning. It is an input tool right? And not a toy? Is "Toy" meant to be a quirky reference to fcitx's history? Or an inside joke? The intended purpose of a debian package's description is to describe very succintly a package's pupose. So "Chinese input tool for X" would make sense. If you want to keep a humorous edge then I'd suggest to move the humour either into the long description or maybe even rather into /usr/doc/*/README or HISTORY or similar. In the same vein I'd suggest to change the long description: Fcitx is a Chinese input tool for X. It was initially designed for Chinese users and used for the XIM protocol. It has evolved into a highly modularized, feature rich input method framework for Unix-like platforms supporting a considerable amount of frontends, backends and modules. Fcitx is an ideal choice for the vast majority of input needs (?). Many of its features provide users of Unix-like platforms with a modern input experience for the first time. It has also greatly lowered the threshold for developers, making the development of additional functionality much easier than ever before. This package provides the essential executable binaries. If you are looking for a working input experience, please install the package "fcitx" instead.
