I understand your point, but: * The average user probably won't expect a Last.fm client being non-graphical (not even a geek would expect that unless stated otherwise). * Other graphical last.fm clients in Debian (last-exit, lastfm -this is the official one-) don't say that they're graphical in their descriptions. And well, I'd bet that it applies to basically almost every graphical program in Debian. * We can say that in the full description. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against saying that Vagalume is a graphical Last.fm client, it's just that I don't think it's that remarkable in this case. IMHO the short description should just tell the users what a package is for and why they should choose it instead of another one. And if I had to select the most relevant things about Vagalume I'd say (in no particular order): a) It's a Last.fm client b) It's based on GTK+ c) It's small and lightweight d) It's designed to work in the Maemo platform e) It's free software d) and e) are probably not significant in this case. So we have: "A small GTK+-based client for the Last.fm online radio" "A GTK+-based client for the Last.fm online radio" "A small client for the Last.fm online radio" -- Alberto García González http://people.igalia.com/berto/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
