Package: zinc-compiler
Version: 1.0.2-5
Severity: wishlist

The zinc-compiler package description contains random double-spacing,
and odd line wrapping:

 The main purpose of the Zinc Compiler is to develop an experimental
 Curry  compiler which features some extensions to the language, such
      ^^
 as type  classes. Zinc Compiler is written in Haskell.
        ^^                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 The Zinc Compiler is being developed by Diego Berrueta as a final year
 project. It is available under the BSD license.

Also note that it is not necessary to list upstream authors and licence
information in package descriptions, and it's not clear why the language
of the compiler is being mentioned -- does this affect its use?

Maybe just clarify the description to e.g.

 The Zinc Compiler is an experimental Curry compiler which features some
 extensions to the language, such as type classes.  It is backwards-
 compatible with the Muenster Curry Compiler, so supports almost any valid
 Curry program.
