Package: gentoo
Version: 0.15.3-0.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Gentoo's control file is used as an example in maint-guide, which I've
been busy proofreading, so as a side-effect I've ended up with a patch
for a couple of minor errors in gentoo's package description.  Here
are the highlights:

 -Description: a fully GUI-configurable, two-pane X file manager
 +Description: fully GUI-configurable, two-pane X file manager

(For DevRef-compliance)

- coupled to a object-oriented style system, which together give you a lot

(Looks like a plain old typo)

(To match "customize" earlier.  On the other hand the word "utilize"
is unpopular in en_US, so you might prefer to substitute "uses".)

  gentoo is a two-pane file manager for the X Window System. gentoo lets the
  user do (almost) all of the configuration and customizing from within the
  program itself. If you still prefer to hand-edit configuration files,
  they're fairly easy to work with since they are written in an XML format.
