Package: approx
Description: caching proxy server for .deb archive files
Approx is an HTTP-based archive server for Debian-style repositories.
It fetches packages from remote repositories on demand,
and caches them for local use.
That synopsis would need to become something like:
Description: caching proxy server for Debian-style repository archive files
Or since it's getting unwieldy, perhaps it should say:
Description: caching proxy server for software repositories
Approx is an HTTP-based proxy server for Debian-style package archives.
It fetches files from remote repositories on demand, and caches them
for local use.
