This is now:

Hi again.  I'm not sure I understand what the problem is.

'Shishi' in the descriptions refer to the name of the entire project,
not any specific Debian package.  The packages make up small parts of
the entire project.

Would it be more clear if I use 'of Shishi' instead of 'for Shishi'?
I'm not a native English speaker, so this may be the origin of the
problem.  For example:

shisa
>     -- Administration utility of the Shishi KDC database
shishi
>     -- Command line utitity of Shishi.</li>
shishi-common
>     -- Platform independent files of the Shishi library.</li>
shishi-dbg
>     -- Debugging symbols of Shishi.</li>
shishi-doc
>     -- Documentation of Shishi.</li>
shishid
>     -- Key Distribution Center (KDC) server daemon of Shishi.</li>

A more radical change would be:

shisa
>     -- Administration utility for the Shishi KDC database
shishi
>     -- Command line Shishi client utility.</li>
shishi-common
>     -- Platform independent Shishi files</li>
shishi-dbg
>     -- Debugging symbols for Shishi.</li>
shishi-doc
>     -- Documentation for Shishi.</li>
shishid
>     -- Key Distribution Center (KDC) Shishi server daemon.</li>

Do you like that better?

Thanks,
Simon
