Me too:

    Please specify the scheme, server and (optionally) port for constructing
    RT web interface URLs.

Given that it's asking for a "path", "the root of my server" might
mean /; I'd suggest "other than at the docroot of the web server".

The bug isn't that it appears to be living, it's that "the RT
database has been placed in..."

Either "s/action //" or probably "s/done/taken/".

It means that it's a heap of Perl modules that local admins are
encouraged to add to.  This is a feature, but may also serve as a
warning to anyone looking for a lightweight, low-maintenance
issue-tracking app.  Given that it only goes in this one line
(rather than bloating the synopses of all its related packages) I'd
vote to keep it.

There's a mention of "enterprise-critical" applications later in the
long description anyway.

(All these "enterprise" references make me think this should say
"enables a group of people to *boldly* manage tasks, issues, and
requests"...)

s/a web/web/, and Harvard comma after "email" (to match the one
after "issues" in the previous sentence).

If site admins are going to need to write plugins, they may well
select the issue-tracking system they install on the basis of
whether they'll be doing that in Lisp or Python.  Still, there are
debtags, and it's not hard to guess from that Depends line.

(Some opportunities for extra commas.)

Yes, only a couple of things to comment on in rt3.8-clients:

Is that "(needed setup [files]) and (tools intended for [...])" or
"needed (setup and tools) intended for [...]"?  Does it "provide the
setup" in the sense of autoconfiguring?  The READMEs say not, so cut
it down to:

  This package provides support for injecting tickets into Request Tracker
  from a mail server via rt-mailgate. It should be installed onto any
  machine where you want to use the "rt" command-line interface.

Template: request-tracker3.8/rtname
Type: string
_Description: Name for this Request Tracker (RT) instance:
 Every installation of Request Tracker must have a unique name.
 The domain name or an abbreviation of the organization name are
 usually good candidates.
 .
 Please note that once you start using a name, you should probably never
 change it. Otherwise, mail for existing tickets won't get put in the right
 place.
 .
 This setting corresponds to the $rtname configuration variable.

Template: request-tracker3.8/organization
Type: string
_Description: Identifier for this RT instance:
 In addition to its name, every installation of Request Tracker must also have
 a unique identifier. It is used when linking between RT installations.
 .
 Using this machine's fully qualified hostname (including the DNS domain name)
 is recommended.
 .
 This setting corresponds to the $Organization configuration variable.

Template: request-tracker3.8/correspondaddress
Type: string
_Description: Default email address for RT correspondence:
 Please choose the address that will be listed in From: and Reply-To: headers of
 emails tracked by RT, unless overridden by a queue-specific
 address.
 .
 This setting corresponds to the $CorrespondAddress configuration variable.

Template: request-tracker3.8/commentaddress
Type: string
_Description: Default email address for RT comments:
 Please choose the address that will be listed in From: and Reply-To: headers of comment
 emails, unless overridden by a queue-specific address. Comments can be
 used for adding ticket information that is not visible to the client.
 .
 This setting corresponds to the $CommentAddress configuration variable.

Template: request-tracker3.8/webbaseurl
Type: string
_Description: Base URL for the RT web interface:
 Please specify the scheme, server and (optionally) port for constructing
 RT web interface URLs.
 .
 The value should not have a trailing slash (/).
 .
 This setting corresponds to the $WebBaseURL configuration variable.

Template: request-tracker3.8/webpath
Type: string
_Description: Path to the RT web interface:
 If the RT web interface is going to be installed somewhere other than at
 the docroot of the web server, you should specify the path to it here.
 .
 The value requires a leading slash (/) but not a trailing one.
 .
 This setting corresponds to the $WebPath configuration variable.

Template: request-tracker3.8/handle-siteconfig-permissions
Type: boolean
_Description: Handle RT_SiteConfig.pm permissions?
 The RT web interface needs access to the database password, stored in the
 main RT configuration file. Because of this, the file is made readable by
 the www-data group in normal setups. This may have security implications.
 .
 If you reject this option, the file will be readable only by root, and
 you will have to set up appropriate access controls yourself.
 .
 With the SQLite backend, this choice will also affect the
 permissions of automatically-generated local database files.

Template: request-tracker3.8/warn-sqlite-file
Type: error
_Description: Broken SQLite file
 Due to a bug in earlier versions of this package, the RT database has been
 placed in /var/lib/dbconfig-common/sqlite3/request-tracker3.8/_DBC_DBNAME_
 rather than its intended location.
 .
 After this installation completes, you
 will need to manually move the file to its correct location 
 (see /etc/request-tracker3.8/RT_SiteConfig.d/51-dbconfig-common). RT will
 not work until this action is taken.
