[Bug 596022] [NEW] Package description is unhelpful

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Vish (vish):

Binary package hint: xchat-gnome

xchat-gnome 1:0.26.1-1ubuntu2

1. In Ubuntu Software Center, navigate to "Get Software" > "Internet" >
"X-Chat Gnome IRC Chat".

What you see: "GNOME's philosophy in terms of user interfaces has been
progressing towards presenting the user with few options, yet sane
defaults. While many of the normal X-Chat options will be preserved
inside GConf, only the most common settings will be included in the main
user interface."

What you should see: A description that is helpful to someone trying to
decide whether to install the program.

A description that was helpful would not use the words "GNOME",
"philosophy", "in terms of", "progressing", "the user", "sane", "GConf",
or "user interface". Instead, it would concentrate on the program's
features and the benefits of using it.
