Don't forget about debian-l10n-english, which is the appropriate place
for such reviews...Still, we have a very expert in English language in
the team (no, not me!) so I expect good review will happen anyway...

> Description: Talloc-based event loop library - shared library

My only suggestion is uncapitalizing "Talloc" as the common use for
synopsis is avoiding leading capital letters.

on debian-l10n-english, we generally recommend "provides" over
"contains" but that's more a matter of taste.
