"Note that" is redundant, especially as a start.  Instead start by
saying what the package _is_ good for.

Don't expect users to think in terms of source-package names, and
don't talk as if this was rapidly-evolving software.  d-l-e regulars
may be interested to see I've moved "automatically" to after its

Just standardised and homogenised.  I'm not really convinced there's
any point listing the hard dependencies, but never mind.

That's homgenised, sorted, and updated; most importantly I've taken
out the claims that isdnutils suggests isdnactivecards and so on.

Part of the point of this rewrite is that the originals don't quite

I don't understand CAPI enough to fiddle with this, partly because
there's absolutely no information in /usr/share/doc/capiutils.

Again, I'm not sure I understand this, partly because there's
nothing worth pointing at in /usr/share/doc/pppdcapiplugin (users
are better off going straight to Google).  Is it talking about
proprietary firmware blobs?

More firmware blobs?  The documentation pointer in this case is

details here from man pages.

Description: ISDN utilities - dependency package
 This package depends on the most frequently used components for an
 ISDN system using an internal adapter; they are not required for an
 external adapter.
 .
 The isdnutils suite is split up into component packages, to make it
 easier to fine-tune what is installed; hardly anyone needs everything.
 However, it's not possible to select what is needed automatically. This
 dependency package just ensures the most important components are
 installed, and can be safely removed again once that is done.
 .
 The component packages involved are:
  * isdnutils-base:   the basic set of ISDN utilities;
  * ipppd:            for networking over ISDN with syncPPP;
  * isdnlog:          for logging ISDN calls (and much more);
  * isdnutils-xtools: graphical utilities (xisdnload and xmonisdn);
  * isdnvboxclient:   ISDN answering machine client;
  * isdnvboxserver:   ISDN answering machine server.

  * isdneurofile:     for file transfer over the EUROFILE protocol;
