Bubulle mantra: thou shalt avoid "you" and "your" in thy package
descriptions..:-)

Let's start a formal review by debian-l10n-english for this package
which I intend to get more involved into.

here's the current package description:

Description: The Free Sport Training Center
 Pytrainer is a tool to log your sport activities. This software was
 originally thought for cyclists, but it can also be used for other
 resistance sports like running, swimming, skiing, and so on. Pytrainer
 is also able to generate detailed graphs and statistics with data
 retrieved from GPS-provided fitness devices.

Erik's proposal:

Description: Tool to log your sport activities
 Pytrainer is a tool to log all your sport excursion coming from GPS
 devices, including:
  * Garmin ForeRunnner 205, 305 and 405.
  * other devices that generate GPX files. 

My proposal:

Description: sport activities logging software
 This package provides a tool to log sport activities (such as
 running, biking, etc.) with data originating from GPS
 devices, including:
  * Garmin ForeRunnner 205, 305 and 405;
  * other devices that generate GPX files.
