Bug#452388: "Standard system" is confusing



Quoting Manoj Srivastava (srivasta@ieee.org):

>  Description: A minimal, (currently non-graphical) core operating environment
>   This is the subset of Debian installed by default, which can be added 
>    upon to provide a more featureful and tailored operating system.


I like that one, with three minor glitches:

-leading article, which goes against most of the recommendations for
 synopsis (for instance, in package descritpions)

- 'currently' which puts an hypothetical moment where that one could
be graphical, which is speculation. Removing it does not really remove
information and mat shorten the description enough

- adding a comma after 'Debian', as pointed by Praveen

That would lead to:

Description: Minimal (non-graphical) core operating environment
 This is the subset of Debian, installed by default, which can be added 
  upon to provide a more featureful and tailored operating system.
