Hi, this is not a major problem, but I'd like to see a bit more
consistency among the package descriptions. The attached patch should
be self-explanatory. A quick analysis of the Packages file suggests
there is already a rough consensus in agreement.
This is obviously a post-woody thing; we should put it off until then.

* Adam Di Carlo:
- update (c) year

note that the TOC displayed in the developers-reference-{fr,ja}
package descriptions are in English until UTF8 control files are
allowed; proper escaping of single quotes here requires newest
debhelper

from Colin Walters, Branden Robinson, Sebastian Rittau and others;
