Multiple issues: * Ungrammatical sentence fragment: s/Provide/Ucimf provides/. * Missing definite article: for the Linux [...] * Again, s/unicode/Unicode/ * Contrariwise, Framebuffer is lowercase (and preferably two words). * And one last typo: s/consle/console/. > . > This package contains the application. > > Package: libucimf0 [...] > Description: library for unicode console input method framework Make that "Unicode console input method framework - library" (so that the next one can follow the same scheme and save some space). > Provide an input method framework for Linux unicode > Framebuffer consle.
