(French translation) Fslint package description

[Mélodie]

Dear developpers,

I would like to report a bad translation in the description of the “fslint” package.

Here are the outputs of "apt-cache show", in French, then in English:

*****************
$ apt-cache show fslint
Package: fslint

*****************

The part concerned which is incorrectly translated in this sentence, is, in English:
“FSlint is a toolkit to clean filesystem lint.”

in French:
“ Fslint est une boîte à outils pour nettoyer la charpie du
système de fichiers.”

This word "charpie" makes no sense in French in this context.

Here is where "lint" in computing comes from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lint_(software)

here is what it is referred to when you consider how it has been translated to French:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lint_(material)

Hence this is the translation I will suggest, based on the explanations of the page
« https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lint_(software) » :

«Fslint est une boîte à outils pour nettoyer des restes indésirables dans les fichiers du
système.»

(litterally, "Fslint is a toolbox to clean unwanted leftovers from the files in the
system").

*********

I think it sounds much better, and if it is ok for you, could you add this to the todo
for the next package version number?

Thanks for all your packaging works.

Best regards,
Mélodie
