Package: wing
Version: 0.7-27.1
Severity: i10n

The German package description suggests that this game resembles the
arcade classig Galaga, which it does not. Despite it's superb graphics
it lacks the gameplay of Galaga. For example the opponents are not
flying in nice formation where one could easily shoot them down, but
they zap around randomly and keep shooting all the time. I recommend
looking at the original arcade game and changing the package description
to the following text, which might be a closer translation of the
English package description:

WING ist eine billige Kopie des Spielhallenspiels Galaga.

The README even claims that _WING Is Not Galaga_.
