Packages description

[Emil Oppeln-Bronikowski]

  I've installed Kubuntu for my friend, who is a heavy Windows user with 
an AmigaOS background. He love it. Yesterday, when I was at the party 
hosted by him I noticed Kubuntu is his new way to use computer. Again, 
congratulations must fly for all people who created Ubuntu & for Kubuntu 
team for polishing KDE for us.

  I showed him around. He was very surprised to see that everything he 
own is detected and configured. It took us around one beer time to 
install it (OK, two beers;-). He asked: what if I want to have software 
X? Should I go to the page and download it? I demoed Kynaptic to him. He 
was pleased again. But.. he asked how he could find a program that 
performs task Y. I've told him about using keywords and matching package 
descriptions. It would be OK, but his english is even poorer than mine.

  Question: will there be/is there a .deb way to have a multilanuge 
package descriptions? If no, maybe we should push the idea? I know it's 
another task for the maintiners, but I guess LoCo teams can handle this.

  Then, if I have LANG=pl_PL I would get Polish description for the 
packages.

Package: foo
Description-C:This package does Foo.
Description-PL:Ten pakiet nie robi nic szczególnego.

  Any hits or ideas?
