[Cupt-devel] Bug#695870: cupt: Change "The following packages..." to "The following _n_ packages"

[A. Costa]

Package: cupt
Version: 2.5.9
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Seen during an install:

    The following packages will be installed:
    
    libdataquay0 libfishsound1 liboggz2 librubberband2 sonic-visualiser 
    
    Action summary:
      1 manually installed and 4 automatically installed packages will be installed

The first line "The following packages..." provides no number, and the
last line includes two numbers, which if added (4+1=5) corresponds to
the five packages listed.

Computing such totals isn't difficult, but it would be simpler to show
the total, so the first line above would read:

    The following 5 packages will be installed:

Optional finesse: handle singular & plural cases correctly, as above
for plural, and as follows for singular (just one package):

    The following 1 package will be installed:

HTH...

PS:  Recently my phone carrier (Verizon) upgraded from copper to fiber 
optic lines.  Since then my modem which formerly connected at 5K is 
mysteriously reduced to 3.3K. (Same hardware, software, & ISP)  
In such an environment efficient 'diff' based transfer programs 
like 'cupt' are more important than ever.  Kudos & thanks again for 'cupt'!
