We, Japanese developers, provides many Japanese-oriented Debian
packages with _English_ description. This is meaningful. Sometimes
we receive bug reports and questions about these packages from
foreigners who start to study Japanese. Like this, giving English
description on your Swedish software is meaningful.
And more, default Description field should be written in ASCII
character for compatibility. Otherwise you will not be able to
run dselect with your favorite console / X terminal emulator.
