Package: procinfo
Version: 1:2.0.304-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I've got some minor niggles with the package description:

> Description: reporter for system information from /proc and /sys
>  Procinfo-NG is a small program that gathers some system information from
>  diverse files under /proc and /sys and prints it to the screen.
>  Procinfo-NG is a complete rewrite of the old system monitoring app procinfo.

First, this package description inaccurately claims to be a small
program named "Procinfo-NG", which is only the name of the upstream
source tarball, not the executable in this Debian package.

Second, it ignores the fact that this package also provides lsdev and
socklist, which have nothing to do with Procinfo-NG.

Third, end users these days have no particular reason to care that
there was once an older version of which this is a rewrite.  After
all, the old procinfo would be unlikely to work on a Jessie kernel.

My suggested replacement text is:

| Description: tools to display information from /proc and /sys
|  This package provides three small programs that gather system information
|  from diverse files under /proc and /sys and print it to the screen:
|  .
|   * lsdev - information from /proc about installed hardware;
|   * procinfo - system monitoring statistics from /proc and /sys;
|   * socklist - a summary of open network sockets from /proc/net.
