Package: fstrim
Version: 0.1-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

thanks for maintaining fstrim.

I read the description and I ask myself: "why would I ever want to
discard parts of a mounted filesystem?"

I have a look at the website and there's the answer, which I think would
need to find its way (maybe reworded to be clearer) in the description:

  Fstrim is used on a mounted filesystem to discard (or "trim") blocks
  which are not in use by the filesystem. This is useful for solid-state
  drives (SSDs) and thinly provisioned storage.

Ciao,

Enrico
