Unfortunately, "allows one to" isn't appropriate for a package description either, unless it's a package intended for use only by the Queen of England. Take the first example: "look at `memtester', which allows one to test your memory within Linux". Allows one what to test your memory? Allows anyone on the Internet to test your memory?
I really don't think there's any getting around the fact that the appropriate correction is "Rewrite, and if you need help, ask a native speaker". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/608231 Title: "allows to" in package descriptions not caught by lintian -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
