I looked through several hundred descriptions now.
Most of them really seem to fixable within a reasonable
amount of time.
The largest group of non-typo style problems seems to be long
descriptions which are not useful on its own. Examples:
bnlib1:
Assembly language routines are used to make this library very fast.
initscripts:
These scripts are meant for standard Debian/GNU/Linux installations.
ld.so.preload-manager
This script is written to be used with the installation of libsafe, but
perhaps it could prove itself useful for more things ;)
trr19:
This is just a beta version.
.
Trr19 won't work with XEmacs.
All of these do not fit the following policy clause very well.
The extended description should describe what the package does and how
it relates to the rest of the system (in terms of, for example, which
subsystem it is which part of).
I hope this helps,
Jochen
