Hi,

Your package's description contains several grammatical mistakes,
making it difficult to understand. Please consider replacing
your package's description in debian/control with the attached
update. It fixes the grammatical mistakes and makes the description
more similar to the description of the ntp package.

Thanks!
Christine
