Bug#661689: Bad formatting of package description, perhaps improvable wording

Package: src:rheolef

Severity: wishlist

Dear Science Maintainers,
I found some typos and formatting errors in the package description
boilerplate (1). For your convenience I copied a new version into this mail.


Description: Finite elements for partial differential equations
  Rheolef is a computer environment that serves as a convenient
  laboratory for computations in applied mathematics, involving finite
  element-like methods. It provides a set of unix commands and C++
  algorithms and containers.
  .
  Containers cover first the classic graph data structure for sparse
  matrix formats and finite element meshes.
  .
  An higher level of abstraction is provided by containers related to
  approximate finite element spaces, discrete fields and bilinear forms.
  .
  Current applications cover
  .
   - Poisson problems in 1D 2D and 3D with P1 or P2 elements
   - Stokes problems in 2D and 3D, with P2-P1 or P1 bubble-P1 elements
   - linear elasticity in 2D and 3D, with P1 and P2 elements,
     including the incompressible and nearly incompressible elasticity
   - characteristic method for convection-diffusion, time-dependent
     problems and Navier-Stokes equations.
   - auto-adaptive mesh based for 2D problems
   - axisymmetric problems
   - multi-regions and non-constant coefficients
   - axisymmetric problems
  .
  Input and output in various file format for meshes generators
  and numerical data visualization systems (mayavi, vtk, plotmtv, gnuplot).


In this version there are some issues still not covered:
  - The easiest is the correct spelling of Unix (2).
  - I don't understand "auto-adaptive mesh based for 2D problems". Without
    "based" I would have an idea.
  - Isn't a non-constant coefficient just a variable one?
  - What are multi-regions coefficients?

Cheers,
    Martin
