Your templates patch looks good, but there's at least one other
change I'd make to the control file.

The package is "jed", but is the program "Jed", "JEd", "JED" or
what?  Lets follow the package description and sourcemorgue page by
standardising on "Jed".

I've given some suggestions for changes below, but they need
sanity-checking from people who know whether all the SLang files in
/usr/share/jed/jed-extra do what they seem to claim.

How is this different from a plain old "help browser"?

Isn't that a directory (or file _system_) browser?  It seems to me
that the various added/enhanced browser-modes should be listed
together, like the language modes.

Standard Jed already has brief.sl; this is just a drop-in improved
replacement.  If it's really worth mentioning, phrase it so that
readers aren't momentarily wrongfooted into interpreting "Brief" as
an adjective.

They're all SLang.

Does this mean browse_url.sl or uri.sl?

If that was rST it would easily fit on one line.
