The templates I can't improve on; the control file on the other hand
has a couple of obvious non-nativisms.  Diffs and revised versions
just for those attached; presumably other ocsinventory-* packages

I assume "the computers configuration" here is intended to mean "the
configuration(s) of the computers".  Looking at the homepage it
seems to me it should use the phrase "software and hardware
configurations".

Software is not a count noun; and you don't "deploy" commands.  It
means scripts, I think.
