Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the mopd source package. This review will last from Friday, January 02, 2009 to Monday, January 12, 2009. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

Splitting in two sentences and paragraphs. I am not happy at all with the package description, but I can't find anything. I have no idea what MOPD is....and I'm afraid that the package description doesn't help for this...:-) Maintainer, it's probably up to you to explain us what is MOPD.... ;and that would become the package description...:-) --
