Package: p7zip
Version: 4.43~dfsg.1-1
Severity: minor

The descriptions of the binary packages built from p7zip don't clearly
describe the packages. For example, p7zip's short description "7-Zip is a file 
archiver with high compression ratio" makes wonder "...OK, but what is p7zip?". 
If there's no room for more, "file archiver with high compression ratio" would 
be better. The full descriptions suffer from the same problem.

Other issues about the descriptions: "Compression ratios with the new 7z
format are 30 to 50% better than ratios with the ZIP format." is also
relevant to p7zip's description. "that implements LZMA compression
algorithm" should probably read "which implements the LZMA compression
algorithm".
Finally, in case you didn't already, you should consider renaming p7zip
to p7zip-minimal (or something similar) and p7zip-full to p7zip. This
would avoid issues like #381696, where ark understandably assumes that
the p7zip package provides p7zip (which is described on its official
site as "a port of 7za.exe for POSIX systems [...]"), as it did earlier.
