There is no one correction that will work in every case.

Sometimes, the appropriate correction is "lets you". For example:

Package: memtest86+
 look at `memtester', which lets you test a computer's memory within Linux,
Package: python-gnomeapplet
 This module lets you write applets for the
Package: kpowersave
 KPowersave is a KDE systray applet which lets you control the power

Sometimes, the correction needs to refer to a specific type of person or
program. For example:

Package: python-wnck
 This module lets Python programs communicate with the
Package: python-mediaprofiles
 This module lets Python applications use the GNOME media
Package: libglade2-0
 This library lets programs load externally stored user interfaces.
Package: libgnome2-perl
 The library lets Perl developers write programs with a GNOME user
Package: python-evince
 These modules let Python applications display documents

And sometimes, neither is appropriate. For example:

Package: packagekit
 PackageKit allows simple software management tasks requested over a DBus
