Bug#286881: Updating some kdegraphics package descriptions
Package: kdegraphics
Version: 4:3.3.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi, I am attaching a diff for updating some packages descriptions as
they are currently very short or misleading.
Packages updated are:
- kgamma
- kolourpaint
- kooka
- kpovmodeler
- kuickshow
I'm filing this bug against kdegraphics instead of each separate package
because patching the debian/control file might be easier with only one
file.
Thanks.
