Package: nanourl
Severity: minor

Hi,

The current long description of package nanourl, «NanoURL is an
implementation of the TinyURL website for your localhost. All that it
needs are 2 PHP files, php + mySQL support, and a simple mySQL
database.», assumes that everone knows what "TinyURL" is and contains
information which shouldn't IMHO be there (the dependencies already
have their own fields). I think it would be good if it described what
it actually does instead (again, to clarify, I'm not asking for the
"TinyURL" reference to be removed -which I find good- but for the
description to also explain what it is, and the dependencies
information to be removed from there).

Additionally, there's a bug on Ubuntu
(https://launchpad.net/bugs/268773) which complains about the package
depending on Apache when there's no need for it (there are plenty of
other web servers which can be used instead, and the php and php-mysql
dependencies will already ensure that one of them is available).

Kind regards,
