Oh, thanks for being less lazy than me.

I've downcased them (passim). Why? Well, I suspect some Germglish, here..:-). But I won't blam Frank Küster who's doing a fantastic work on packaging TeXLive for so long time that I can't even remember. Good opportunity to thank him for this, indeed. > What I'd *like* to do is perform a global s/--/-/, eliminate the > capitalisation of the first letter (and redundant articles) in the > descriptions, improve their structural parallelism (standardising > either towards noun phrases or verb phrases throughout) and make > them all end in a semicolon, but to reduce the intrusiveness of the > patch I'll leave all that for another time. My guess is that these descriptions are taken verbatim from CTAN, so the right change would be introducing consistency in CTAN packages descriptions... quite a big deal...:)
