>From where are you quoting the above? It would probably help if you propose a concrete text to replace or be appended to existing package description. My apologies if that is exactly what you did already and I simply missed it somehow. [ after re-reading original post, and then again a third time...] OOOOHHH, now I see your patch. I am very sorry, I totally missed that in my first reply. Your proposed patch looks fine to me. Only part I dislike is the paragraph linking to upstream and enumerating other platforms: Package has a Homepage field to reference upstream, and I find it better to mention more broadly that "Jami is available on non-Linux paltforms as well." Also, concretely, the paragraph "To some degree..." looks fine to me. > However, everything else is facts. My use of the word buzzwords was > probably wrong, I meant search terms that users likely apt search for > to find a substitution of a proprietary (Skype, WhatsApp, …) program > or something that is not yet available in Debian (BBB, Jitsi Meet). It was the word buzzwords that made me react strongly - I do agree with you that current package description is vague. Sorry that I did not make that clear. > Please reconsider your decision, the patch is intended to support our > users. To clarify, I am providing input on this bugreport but not "deciding".
