Public bug reported:

Japanese translation in 'apt show cwm' may have a slight error.

The word 計量 means mesuarable and does not mean lightweight.
Perhaps, the correct Japanese word is 軽量.

In fact, the pronouciation of both 計量 and 軽量 are the same
in Japanese, like "keiryo".
So this slight error might have been caused by
some kind of human error, which is often the case in Japanese input,
like Fcitx-Mozc or Microsoft IME.
