My only complaint with this version is the number of sentences
beginning with either "Xiphos" or "It".
Package: xiphos
Description: environment for Bible reading, study, and research
Xiphos is a Bible study program for the GNOME desktop environment,
based on the CrossWire Bible Society's SWORD Project, a framework
for developing tools for study of the Bible and of associated texts
such as commentaries and dictionaries.
.
This package provides the main Xiphos program, a digital text
reader with bookmarks and full-text search. It allows viewing
multiple versions of the same text, for parallel reading of
alternatives or translations, and also supports personal
verse-specific notes and a rich-text study pad, both of which have
spell checking and full-text search.
.
Xiphos has a built-in facility to browse and install
freely-distributed content from CrossWire repositories.
Package: xiphos-data
Description: data files for Xiphos Bible study software
Xiphos is a Bible study program for the GNOME desktop environment,
based on the CrossWire Bible Society's SWORD Project, a framework
for developing tools for study of the Bible and of associated texts

This package contains the data files that are necessary to use Xiphos.
Package: gnomesword
Description: transitional package for GnomeSword, now Xiphos
This is a transitional package and can safely be removed. GnomeSword
has been renamed to Xiphos; see the "xiphos" package instead.
(I've also ASCIIified the quotes there, more or less by accident)
