ok. I also have to fix upstream.

Good point. Fixed.

I'd rather keep the 2 explanations which answer 2 different questions.

The first question is, why should a user install this package ? I hope that the
first explanation answers that in the simplest possible way.

Then other user may wonder what is the content of this package, I.e. how does 
it compare to libconfig-model-perl. Hence the 2nd explanation.

I've also forgotten to add a recommend field for cme and libconfig-model-tkui-
perl. Without these packages, libconfig-model-systemd-perl is pretty useless.

Thanks for the suggestions

All the best
