This package just enters Debian and has been renamed into acheck.
Its companion acheck-rules-fr is widely used by French translators
on our l10n ML; this way translators can process a first pass to
remove common mistakes, and proofreaders can focus on style.
I strongly invite language teams to look at this package and talk
to Nicolas Bertolissio to have their language supported, it is
really very helpful.
