As usual I'll correct "user name" to "username"... otherwise, it all
looks good.

Hang on... msttcorefonts is a virtual package provided by the contrib
ttf-mscorefonts-installer.  For spotweb to stay in main, surely it
needs to switch to fonts-liberation?

Would that make more sense as
   Suggests: sabnzbdplus | nzbget
or is it useful to have both?

That's a verb phrase; the original was more DevRef-compliant, though
it needs its capitalisation fixed.  How about:

   Description: web interface to search and filter Usenet spots

This is a bit better, but it still has some odd English, and I'd
suggest explaining spots a bit more verbosely:

    SpotWeb is a web-based version of the decentralized news-indexing system
    SpotNet, which fetches Usenet "spots" - postings that contain information
    about uploaded binaries. SpotWeb allows searching, filtering, and viewing
    of the spots and comments. It integrates with NZB downloaders such as
    NZBget and SABnzbd+ to download the binaries from Usenet.

(Upstream say "SABnzbd+" with a caps and a "d".)

Description: web interface to search and filter Usenet spots
 SpotWeb is a web-based version of the decentralized news-indexing system
 SpotNet, which fetches Usenet "spots" - postings that contain information
 about uploaded binaries. SpotWeb allows searching, filtering, and viewing
 of the spots and comments. It integrates with NZB downloaders such as
 NZBget and SABnzbd+ to download the binaries from Usenet.
