Bug#250094: ksim: almost useless description
Package: ksim
Version: 4:3.2.2-2
Hi all,
an "apt-cache show ksim" will reveal the following information:
---
Description: System information monitor
KDE is a powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment for Unix
workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality, and
outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix
operating system.
.
KSim is a plugin-based system information monitor.
.
This package is part of the official KDE utils module.

I'd assume that by now everyone knows what KDE is...
Instead of wasting TWO THIRDS (4 out of 6 lines) on useless information,
what about actually telling in detail what ksim is??
A "system information monitor". Yeah, sure, there are thousands of s.i.m.s.
Now why should that one be special enough for me to actually care enough
to install it? ;-)
A template for an actually USEFUL description could be:
---
Description: System information monitor for KDE, plugin-based
KSim is a plugin-based system information monitor.
It has the following features:
- xxx
- yyy
Some plugins you may find useful: XXX (doing aaa), YYY (doing bbb),
ZZZ (doing ccc), ...
This package is part of the official KDE utils module.

Thanks for correcting this admittedly not too important issue,
this will contribute to making Debian excellent in every aspect!
