The description is more about OAuth generally than
python-django-oauth-plus. For instance, it wasn't clear to me that
this is was a provider and not something that helped consumers do the
OAuth dance. There are a number of other Django OAuth providers (not
packaged for Debian AFAIK). The description should give me a hint as
to why I should use this one.

Thanks!
