This is a dict package for translating between the languages with
ISO 639-2 Alpha-3 codes "afr" and "deu", right?

"Africaan" isn't right in English, German, Afrikaans, French or any
other language I know of. Indeed, "Africaan-German" looks like a
typo for "African-German", which would make it a monolingual
dictionary for the variety of German spoken in its old colonies
(parallel to "Swiss-German").
So please correct the references to "Africaan" in the packaging to
"Afrikaans".
(Severity: wishlist from here on. Yes, I know, it's a
QA-group package with a minimal userbase, and one of
many with similarly phrased descriptions, but if you're
going to be changing it anyway...)
Meanwhile, "This is a package of the [blah] dictionary for the dictd
server software" is a redundant and slightly unnatural phrasing. We
can see it's a package, any server there's a "Suggests:" for is
obviously going to be software, and we can make a good guess that
packages named foobar-d are going to be servers...
So here's an all-in-one patch:
