Thanks, I'll use this description.

Does this text look better (from Wikipedia):

SPARK is a formally-defined computer programming language based on the
Ada programming language, intended to be secure and to support the
development of high integrity software used in applications and systems
where predictable and highly reliable operation is essential either for
reasons of safety or for business integrity.

I would say "This package contains the tools necessary for checking
if programs adhere to the SPARK rules and the tools to show freedom
of runtime exceptions in those programs."

And then also say: "To compile SPARK programs use any standards-compliant
Ada compiler, such as GNAT."

(One of the design principles of SPARK was to have an unambigous subset
of Ada so that one is not tied to a particular compiler and that reasoning
about it is sound.)

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Євгеній Мещеряков" 

* Package name: spark
  Version : spark-gpl-2010-SMT
* URL : http://libre.adacore.com/libre/tools/spark-gpl-edition/
* License : GPL3+
  Programming Lang: Ada, Prolog, C++
  Description : SPARK programming language toolset

SPARK is a programming language and a set of software development
products for high assurance software. The SPARK programming language is
the only language specifically designed to support the development of
safety or security critical software. In combination with the SPARK
toolset, SPARK prevents, detects and eliminates defects early in the
lifecycle as the source code is developed. It is, effectively, the
result of applying the principles of Correctness by Construction to the
design of a programming language and associated verification tools.

This package contains tools for verification of programs written in
SPARK. To compile SPARK programs use Ada compiller available in package
'gnat'.

I suggest to either replace that or simply remove it. At least I'm not
able to get any information out of it.

s/in SPARK/in the programing language SPARK/ and that says much more
than all the previous marketing blurb.
