Bug#614947: konqueror-nsplugins: cobwebby package description
Package: konqueror-nsplugins
Version: 4:4.4.5-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I've been running through the package lists looking for outdated
descriptions that no longer fulfill the requirement (in Debian Policy
3.4) that package descriptions should convey to readers why they might
want to have the software in question installed.
Description: Netscape plugin support for Konqueror
This package enables Konqueror to use Netscape plugins, such as Flash.
.
This package is part of the KDE base applications module.
Yes, well. I'd suggest:
Description: plugin support for Konqueror
Konqueror is the KDE web browser and advanced file manager. This is
a compatibility library enabling it to use plugins designed for
Netscape/Mozilla/etc (such as Flash).
.
This package is part of the KDE base applications module.
Given that konqueror-plugin-gnash provides Flash without this package
(and exists outside non-free/i386) should we perhaps be referencing
mozilla-openoffice instead? Though that's also a legacy name that'll
presumably need to change soon...
