[Pkg-ace-devel] [PATCH 1/1] Improve some descriptions, WIP towards fixing #599549

[Thomas Girard]

Hello,

thanks for looking into this one.

I think we should ask for a review on debian-l10-english mailing list
after we agree on the descriptions.

Hmmm. I does not look like a complete sentence.

I like your change. Don't know whether it's worth explaining what the
