Package: firebird2-super-server
Version: 1.5.1-2
Severity: minor
Hello,
The package firebird2-super-server uses the contraction "it's" in the
Description field of its control file in what appears to be an
incorrect way. Recall that "it's" is a contraction for "it is" or
"it has", and any other use (for instance, as a possessive) is not
grammatically correct English. Hypothetical examples:
- XMMS is cool. It's one of the best ... [correct, "It is"]
- XMMS is cool. It's been rated highly ... [correct, "It has"]
- XMMS is cool. It's features include ... [wrong]
- XMMS is cool. Its features include ... [correct, possessive]
Using "it's" and "its" correctly is in your best interest, since
incorrect usage may cause someone browsing the package descriptions to
have a bad first impression of that package.
Please note that this is a mass bug filing; it was discussed on
debian-devel in the thread starting here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/08/msg01626.html
