Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the golang-weekly source package. This review will last from Saturday, February 11, 2012 to Tuesday, February 21, 2012. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

That translates to a general part, which is mostly the original version (only with double spaces dropped) and a secific part made of one or two paragraphs. I'm not entirely enthusiats about the common part which I find slightly too much sounding as an advertisement...but not enough to warrant a full rewrite, imho. Also, I think that the "Go is an experiment..." part doesn't belong to a supposedly neutral package description. As it doesn't bring much, I suggest dropping it where it appears.
