Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the elmerfem source package.
This review will last from Thursday, July 23, 2009 to Sunday, August 02, 2009.
Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.
Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.
When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.
When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.
Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer
as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as
a subject tag.
Indeed, there are quite very few proposed changes:

about interfaces" mantra.
Drop double spaces (we settled on this and decided to suggest using
single spacing after full stops).

Many packages often suggest the "dpkg-reconfigure" thing to chage
one's mind about such choices....but that's actually the first time I
see a reference to Synaptics. I personnally find that there is no real
reason to make reference to Synaptics rather that something else.
In general, I'm not sure that such mentions are really useful.

Description: finite element package for multiphysics problems
The Elmer open source mutiphysics simulation package includes physical models
of fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, electromagnetics, heat transfer and
acoustics, among others. These are described by partial differential equations
which Elmer solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM).
.
Elmer uses METIS (or its free counterpart Scotch) for mesh partitioning, and
(P)ARPACK, UMFPACK, BLAS/LAPACK and hypre to solve the sparse linear systems
resulting from FEM discretization. It includes pre- and post-processors, and
several examples illustrating simulation of various physical phenomena.
