That's much better, kecsap, thank you. You could discard a few words
from the start, something like this: Alters Firefox so that it searches
the Ubuntu software catalog when looking for plug-ins; includes Ubuntu
items in the Help menu; uses Ubuntu’s start page… etc.

Just for security and consistency, I like to know what changes in

The description still doesn't describe what ubufox does. You've said it
changes firefox configuration, but that's no help. I've been asked about
this package, but I don't have a good explanation for what the package
does or whether the package is needed or not, because it is not
documented at all

I dunno, it seems there is a pretty consistent naming convention for packages
that contain ubuntu specifics:
'aptitude search ubuntu' gives:
...
edubuntu-addon-kde
edubuntu-addon-legacy
edubuntu-addon-light
edubuntu-addon-science
...
kubuntu-artwork-kbfx
kubuntu-artwork-usplash
Well, I mean, it would be nice if it read
Ubuntu Firefox Extension
Adds [whatever ubufox adds].
So users could actually know what it does from the description, like
other extensions seem to work.

Would it be possible to list what those changes are?
Also, would you consider to change the package name? Ubufox IMHO
needlessly obfuscates the package's purpose and make it hard to find in
the package manager. Maybe firefox-adjustments-ubuntu or some such,
analogous to the themes package?
