Does this mean "installed (then removed rather than purged)" or
"installed (then left installed)"?  If there are databases,
presumably the latter, which means it has to be:

   A previous version of MediaWiki is installed.

Which means editing the template for every change of version
number... would 'dpkg-reconfigure <pkgname>' do?

I also see a couple of problems in the control file:

s/maner/manner/, or just say:

  MediaWiki is a wiki engine (a program for creating a          
  collaboratively edited website).

And surely it's library-like document _collections_?

Users can upload TOC autogen?  Perhaps this should be:

                        , and supports user uploads of images/sounds,
  multilingual content, TOC autogeneration, ISBN links, etc.

Should that be "receive notifications", or is this standard
wikijargon?  If this needs changing I'd also juggle them into a more 
logical order, and make each item a verb+object, giving:

  so you can receive notifications, view diffs and revert edits.

Does it really mean "you" (the admin) rather than "users"?
