[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#719262: [src:openssl] Please review package descriptions

[Martin Eberhard Schauer]

Package: src:openssl
Version: 1.0.1e-3
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english at lists.debian.org

Dear Debian OpenSSL Team,

as libssl has a high popcon I suggest a bit of rewording to adhere better to
(1). I would like to see some boilerplate explaining (Open)SSL, unified 
short
descriptions and "complete" sentences. For your convenience I prepared a
debian/control with rewritten descriptions, using information from Wikipedia
(2) and the OpenSSL project homepage (3) to be used as a starting point.

Kind regards
        Martin

    Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer
    (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide communication 
security over
    the Internet.[1]

    Welcome to the OpenSSL Project

    The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,

implementing the
    Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1)
    protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography 
library.
