I'm attempting to do this; but I don't think there's really hope that somebody than doesn't know minesweeper, klotz and/or sokoban could decide whether to install them, from the description. > In this case, "written in Python" seems rather irrelevant, a mention of That's true. > the sokoban implementation that can use the generated level is missing, > though. Actually, I don't know any implementation that _can't_ use the generated level, since the Sokoban file format has been semi-standard from the first Sokoban implementation, AFAIK. > Something similar applies to several packages (e.g. the "best sokoban > implementation I know of" of your ITP messages probably shouldn't be - > and likely isn't - in the description, a more verbose description of the It isn't. > games might be useful in the cgames long description, I'm not sure that > all users realize that "curses based" means "text-based gui"). Good point. Although "text-based" does not imply it uses full-screen mode. But maybe that's not so important. For the record, sarge currently has 33 packages that have "curses-based" in their description. > Also, please try to fit your (short and long) descriptions better into > what's usual in Debian.
