Language on short descriptions
Reading devel-changes I came across this dahb-html package and not
understanding the short description I had to go and do an apt-cache
show to get out of my curiosity, which I found rather annoying.

I'd recommend at least english translation in parenthesis to avoid
this kind of confusions. What do others think about this? Is it worth
even a wishlist bug?
Now, I guess that Anwenderhandbuch means Handbook.
Daniel I'd, particulary like to hear your opinion on this and why you
decided to put it in German. Did you think it was clear enough? or that
it didn't care since the package was german-speaking people oriented?
Hope to help,
