Merci Christian pour ces commentaires.

Actually, it is because I want to make clear that 'Generic Genome
Broswer' is not a generic name that I put 'The' in front, just like I
would put 'Le' instead en français. For the same reason, I added 'from
GMOD' after.

To make things more complicated, there are more genome viewers in the
GMOD project. (see http://www.gmod.org/wiki/index.php/GMOD_Components)

How about : "The generic genome browser component of GMOD"?

In parallel, I could rename the package gmod-gbrowse for instance, pour
enfoncer le clou (to make the point).


Here is a revised package description:

Description: The generic genome browser component of the GMOD project
 The 'generic genome browser' component of the Generic Model Organism Database
 toolkit (GMOD) is a combination of database and interactive Web page for
 manipulating and displaying annotations on genomes. Some of its features:
  * Simultaneous bird's eye and detailed views of the genome;
  * Scroll, zoom, center;
  * Attach arbitrary URLs to any annotation;
  * Order and appearance of tracks are customizable by administrator and
    end-user;
  * Search by annotation ID, name, or comment;
  * Supports third party annotation using GFF formats;
  * Settings persist across sessions;
  * DNA and GFF dumps;
  * Connectivity to different databases, including BioSQL and Chado;
  * Multi-language support;
  * Third-party feature loading;
  * Customizable plug-in architecture (e.g. run BLAST, dump & import many
    formats, find oligonucleotides, design primers, create restriction maps,
    edit features).
