Improving package descriptions (I)

[Martin Eberhard Schauer <Martin.E.Schauer@gmx.de>]

                     Hi,

some time ago I read a post of the DPL regarding enhancing package 
description
quality. Bug reports from translators should be a means for achieving 
this goal.

(quoting from the developer's reference, section 8.4:)

Best current practice concerning l10n
 ...
 As a translator, if you find an error in the original text, make sure 
to report it.
 Translators are often the most attentive readers of a given text, and 
if they
 don't report the errors they find, nobody will.

Sometimes when beginning a new translation for a package description
being part of Debian for quite some time I encounter descriptions which
I consider faulty/improvable. Does it make sense to report errors 
concerning
stable/oldstable when there are more recent descriptions?

Should one use specific tags for the bug reports? If yes, are there 
appropriate
ones (debian-i18n, debian-l10n, ...)?

Kind regards,
  Martin
