In general we encourage package maintainers to have real names.

So, for future reference, here's a case study in why you can't just
copy the description verbatim from the website:

 EasyH10 is an open source project to develop a multi-platform software

Everything in Debian is an open source project to develop *something*.
So there's no need to mention that.

 for iriver H10 digital audio player. It enables us to transfer music and
 playlist files manually (e.g., drag-and-drop, copy command, rsync, etc.)
 to a player and to prepare the player without iriver plus or Windows
 Media Player 10.

The us pronoun looks quite out of place.  And we can already safely
assume it doesn't need iriver plus or Windows Media Player 10 -
otherwise your software would be in 'contrib', or perhaps not available
for Debian at all.

 EasyH10 works fine with Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP (GUI
 version), Windows 2000/XP (CUI version), and POSIX-like platforms (CUI
 version) such as Linux and MacOS X.

Nobody cares that you support Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP, Linux, and OS X.
We already assume that your package works on Debian.

Something like this would be sufficient:

  Description: Utility to manage the iRiver H10 music player
   easyh10 is a command-line utility to generate a media database and
   playlist for an iRiver H10 digital audio player.  Transferring the
   actual music files must be done manually.

I planned to tweak the description before actually submitting the
package. And if you read the bug report, you would have seen that
astronut was an accident, $DEBFULLNAME was set, but ~/.reportbugrc
had it set to astronut. I had already changed the owner, and this had
already been brought up.

Hi,

 Owner: astronut [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Thanks for your interest in packaging easyh10 for Debian, but please
  provide your real name for the Maintainer field. Perhaps this was a
  MTA misconfiguration.

  Cheers,
