Package: ucimf
Version: 2.3.8-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The package descriptions for ucimf and its relatives contain a few
English language issues (starting with two in the first word of the
synopsis).
> Package: ucimf
[...]
> Description: uicode console input method framework
^
A missing letter and a missing shift - synopses don't need initial
uppercase, but in this case you could get away with capitalising every
word, given that it's the expansion of an abbreviation; and besides,
the word "Unicode" is intrinsically capitalised.
> Provide an input method framework for Linux unicode
> Framebuffer consle.
Multiple issues:
* Ungrammatical sentence fragment: s/Provide/Ucimf provides/.
* Missing definite article: for the Linux [...]
* Again, s/unicode/Unicode/
* Contrariwise, Framebuffer is lowercase (and preferably two words).
* And one last typo: s/consle/console/.

Make that "Unicode console input method framework - library" (so that
the next one can follow the same scheme and save some space).
> Provide an input method framework for Linux unicode
> Framebuffer consle.
Amend as above.
> .
> This package contains the runtime library.
>
> Package: libucimf-dev
[...]
> Description: library for unicode console input method framework - development

Unnecessarily long; make it "Unicode console input method framework -
development files".
> Provide an input method framework for Linux unicode
> Framebuffer consle.
Amend as above.
> .
> This package contains the developing header files.
