Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-63
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

In the package description,

 -Description: Scripts for initializing and shutting down the system
 +Description: scripts for initializing and shutting down the system

DevRev6.2.2-compliance, in passing.  The other synopses in the same
control file are entitled to their capital letters.

   The scripts in this package initialize a standard Debian
 - GNU/Linux system at boot time and finalize it at halt or
 - reboot time.
 + system at boot time and shut it down at halt or reboot time.
 
Two issues:
 1) initscripts_2.86.ds1-63_kfreebsd-{amd64,i386}.deb
 2) "finalise" is some sort of malapropism (it means something
	closer to "put into its canonical form ready for use");
	"terminate" might be closer, but "shut down", as in the
	synopsis, is the normal idiom.
