Package: konqueror-nsplugins Version: 4:4.4.5-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
I've been running through the package lists looking for outdated descriptions that no longer fulfill the requirement (in Debian Policy 3.4) that package descriptions should convey to readers why they might want to have the software in question installed. Description: Netscape plugin support for Konqueror This package enables Konqueror to use Netscape plugins, such as Flash. . This package is part of the KDE base applications module. Yes, well. I'd suggest: Description: plugin support for Konqueror Konqueror is the KDE web browser and advanced file manager. This is a compatibility library enabling it to use plugins designed for Netscape/Mozilla/etc (such as Flash). . This package is part of the KDE base applications module. Given that konqueror-plugin-gnash provides Flash without this package (and exists outside non-free/i386) should we perhaps be referencing mozilla-openoffice instead? Though that's also a legacy name that'll presumably need to change soon... -- JBR Ankh kak! (Ancient Egyptian blessing)
