Bug#452388: "Standard system" is confusing



> Policy describes the "standard" priority level as:

>   "These packages provide a reasonably small but not too limited character-mode

>    anything else. It doesn't include many large applications."

I agree with Robert; I have been asked quite a few times by friends (while
installing, what is the difference between standard and desktop system). This
change would make it a lot clearer what's what.
