Oh, thanks for being less lazy than me. Indeed, your improvements for
parts that aren't lists, particularly synopsis, are great.

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

this, indeed.

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...:)
