Why is it called astk? I can't find an astk tarball on the

Don't repeat the name of the package in the short description. Also,
what is it a system and front end for? That is unclear from the
description.

It is unclear to me what this software can do. Can I generate finite
element models with it? Or is it just a way to start simulations on a
backend? Can I view models, or meshes, or results of calculations? What
kind of finite elements are supported? If this is a frontend, is the
backend also packaged for Debian?
What is Homard?

I think it doesn't matter what language these tools are written in, as
long as they do whay they're supposed to do. So this is not useful
information for the long description. Use the debtags system instead for
these kinds of annotations.
