Bug#773110: ITP: openorienteering-mapper -- orienteering mapmaking program
Hi Gaudenz,
The software looks very interesting, thanks for ITP'ing it! One comment

I don't feel that much of this is of interest in a Debian package

Also the OCAD acronym is not explained.

I wouldn't include this paragraph either, as it feels slightly generic;
it doesn't really help to determine whether I should install that
software or not.
