Package: debian-reference-en
Version: 2.55
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n
Section 1 contains:
The Debian system itself is a moving target. This makes its documentation
difficult to be current and correct. Although the current unstable version of
the Debian system was used as the basis for writing this, some contents may be
already outdated by the time you read this.
"to be" should read something like "to keep".
By the way, the version of the Debian system used as basis is not the current
unstable version [anymore], and I'm not sure this paragraph is warranted.
Pretty much all healthy software changes. Debian's documentation is no harder
to keep updated than documentation for an equally complex project, disregarding
language issues. I suggest shortening this to at most 2 sentences.

"l10n"? Are you doing this as English language proof reading? Strange
tag.

I think both are OK and practically the same. Matter of taste.
(If you wish to nitpick on style, you can find many..)

Do you know this document has many translations to update, too. (They
are kept in sync.) So this kind of changes are non-trivial. It is very
hardwork for me ... Please do not comment like "no harder ...". Quite
frankly, I was offended. What have you done for Debian? If you can
provide a patch with translation to me, I may consider ... but I think
there are much higher priority things to update. systemd ... gTLD, ...
If you check changelog or VCS, you understand this document is pretty
much single person work. Responding this is already a burden ... sigh.
If you are a native English speaker reviewing the whole text, give me
a good set of real style update suggestions.
Hmmm... googling your name I found:
https://bugs.debian.org/501382
https://bugs.debian.org/508240
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?submitter=chealer%40gmail.com
Maybe there was a reason for *ban*. I should not waste time on this.
Some bug reports are OK. But let's keep this as civil and productive.
Regards,
Osamu
