OK Mathieu, I have started working through the bazaar docs.

Title:
  synaptic network proxy preferences doesn't capitalize "internet"

Status in The synaptic package manager:
  New
Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  In synaptic 0.75~pre4 on Natty i386, in the Network tab of the
  Preferences, the option "Direct connection to the internet" appears
  under Proxy Server. The word "Internet" should be capitalized when it
  refers to the largest and most widely used global internetwork (which
  is what it refers to here, and almost everywhere else; appropriate
  uses of the term "internet" without initial capitalization exist but
  are rare).

  So, that option should instead read, "Direct connection to the
  Internet".

  Besides being correct (and because of that), this usage is also common
  throughout applications in Ubuntu, so adopting it in Synaptic will
  also increase interface uniformity.

  This bug might be reflected in other languages too, so fixing it might
  require slight retranslation.

  I am also able to produce this bug with synaptic 0.63.1ubuntu4 on a
  Maverick amd64 system.
