Package: libotr5
Version: 4.1.0-1
Severity: minor

The extended description contains:
 OTR allows you to have private conversations over IM by providing:
[...]
  - Authentication
    - You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
  - Deniability
    - The messages you send do _not_ have digital signatures that are
      checkable by a third party.  Anyone can forge messages after a
      conversation to make them look like they came from you. However,
      _during_ a conversation, your correspondent is assured the messages
      they see are authentic and unmodified.

So-called "deniability" is not a feature per se, unless authentication is taken 
for granted, which is clearly not the case here.

Rather than advertising 2 independant items, these could be merged in a "Deniable 
authentication" item which would contain both sublists.


By the way, I do not understand what "Anyone can forge messages after a conversation 
to make them look like they came from you." means.
