Thanks for your patches. First of I'd like to point out that the
description put in debian/control is based on the upstream description of
the project. So you probably want to submit this to upstream as well so
that they update their "readme.txt" and their website.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+filebug

Then your updated description is not correct:

This is not a valid list in a description field. You need to have "2
spaces" at the start otherwise the lines will be wrapped together. And you
should probably avoid UTF-8 characters.

So it should be:

 Uses of Zim include:
  * TODO lists
  * Taking notes during meetings
  * Drafting blog entries and emails
  * Brainstorming


A few more remarks:

"which allows" is generally bad-style -> "text editor used to maintain"

Why "the text" ? Each page can contain links.

As a whole, it looks like an improvement though. Thanks for the work.

[ scratch 250 Kb of debdiff irrelevant for the description that I don't
understand ]
