Hi; I'm interested in helping.  I am not a programmer (indeed, I'm
Google's top hit for "IANAP"), but I've been a Debian user and
sysadmin for many years, and a quick look at the "debian-packages"
file shows one obvious thing I can do - spelling patch attached.

I'm also strongly tempted to provide a patch imposing a standard
capitalisation policy, and there are some other corrections I'd
argue for (eg: there's no such thing as "X-Windows"), but I'm
starting with something simple. 

Incidentally, I don't see any mention in the archives of
/usr/lib/menu or /usr/share/doc-base files, which each implement
"section" hierarchies slightly divergent from the old system of
repository sections.  I hope they aren't being overlooked.
