Package: haskell-hsql-mysql
Severity: normal

Why is the description mentioning non-mysql databases?? It completely
messes up any type of keyword searches!

For example, here's the description of haskell-hsql-mysql

Description: API documentation of the hsql-mysql library for Haskell
 HSQL provides interfaces for Haskell programmers to the PostgreSQL,
 MySQL, SQLite, and UnixODBC database systems.  There is a generic
 abstract interface so that code can be used interchangeably with
 these
 database systems.  In this sense, it is similar to Java's JDBC,
 Python's DB-API, or Perl's DBI.
 .
 This package provides documentation for MySQL driver of HSQL.


Why include basically ALL the possible keywords under the sun??? A
better description would be,

Description: API documentation of the hsql-mysql library for Haskell
 HSQL provides database interfaces for Haskell programmers. This
 package provides documentation for MySQL driver of HSQL.


I could go though all the packages, but basically it is cut and
paste... Here's an example how it screws up searching,

Again, please, please rewrite the description of all these packages to
only include words relevant to the actual package, not the source. Not
the potential API "look like", but just what it is.

Thank you.
