The point is not that I don't understand what abiword is. The point is that the problematic package description does not tell me that gnome-office depends on abiword, as already explained. I have to look at the dependencies for that, while I'm rather tempted to use Google on "GNOME Office suite". The packages you compare with are different, using respectively: The GNOME Desktop Environment -- essential components The GNOME desktop environment -- accessibility components The GNOME Desktop Environment -- development tools "The GNOME Desktop Environment" is well-known. Somebody who wouldn't know what it is would easily find it on Google. "The GNOME desktop environment -- accessibility components" does not tell me which accessibility components are provided, but I'm not tempted to search for "The GNOME desktop environment -- accessibility components" on Google, as it is not a proper noun. "GNOME Office suite" currently brings in the first results http://live.gnome.org/GnomeOffice and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Office - none of which talk about the same "GNOME Office suite" the description refers to. Actually, the Wikipedia article even shows that Debian uses the term with a different meaning. And you're mixed up - what you're quoting doesn't belong to this report.
