Package: gnome-orca
Version: 2.17.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Quoting the orca manpage:

"Customers  with  blind  employees/students  need to have the ability to
adapt and customize their assistive  technology  solutions  -  both  to
improve the efficiency of their blind users (to help make up for disad-
vantages inherent in not being able to "see" the entire screen  immedi-
ately  at  a  glace), and also to "work around" poorly designed and not
particularly accessible applications that their  blind  users  need  to
use."

I am not a native english speaker, but the word "Customers" seems
wrong to me in a Debian context.  This reads like Sun marketing speak.
Debian has users, no customers.

In fact, the whole paragraph is a bit far-off to me.  It seems
to imply blind users will always have someone "above" them
who provides accessibility to them.  This might be true in some cases,
but definitely isn't the rule.

Since this paragraph doesn't really add to the information
value of an orca manpage, I'd probably go as far as to suggest to
strike it completely, or at least reword it such that is
is talking about giving customizability to the *users*.
