Bug#322943: ITP: easyh10 -- generates databases for the iRiver H10 music player

In general we encourage package maintainers to have real names.

          *          *          *

So, for future reference, here's a case study in "why you can't just
copy the description verbatim from the website":

> EasyH10 is an open source project to develop a multi-platform software

Everything in Debian is an open source project to develop *something*.
So there's no need to mention that.

The "us" pronoun looks quite out of place.  And we can already safely
assume it doesn't need iriver plus or Windows Media Player 10 -
otherwise your software would be in 'contrib', or perhaps not available
for Debian at all.

Nobody cares that you support Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP, Linux, and OS X.
We already assume that your package works on Debian.

Something like this would be sufficient:

  Description: Utility to manage the iRiver H10 music player
   easyh10 is a command-line utility to generate a media database and
   playlist for an iRiver H10 digital audio player.  Transferring the
   actual music files must be done manually.
