Make that:

Not gzipped, according to
http://packages.debian.org/sid/zekr-quran-translations-en/all/filelist
Then in the control file:
> +Description: Zekr Quran English translations
The templates file has "Qur'an" and the control file has "Quran".
I'd favour standardising on "Qur'an" wherever it isn't part of the
packagename, so that repository searches catch either. Of course,
that still leaves "Koran", "Qur'ān", "Ḳur’ân"...
> + This package provides translations can be used with Zekr, Quranic software.
Missing words, but rephrase:
This package provides translations for use with the free Qur'anic study
tool Zekr.
