Package: src:chromium-browser
Version: 15.0.874.106~r107270-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Chromium Maintainers,
thank you for maintaining Chromium.

I don't like the following (upstream) boilerplate, because I consider it 
to be
marketing speech as it seems to me grammatically incorrect.

   Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer,
   faster, and more stable way for all Internet users to experience the web.

This sentence implies a comparison (safer, faster), but it does not say what
has been compared. Somewhere I read a post asking whether it is 
noteworthy in
Debian package descriptions to stress that a software is open source. Open
source is different from Free Software.

Please consider

   The Chromium project aims to build a safe, fast, and stable browser 
for all
   Internet users.

as starting point for an alternative wording.

Kind regards,
    Martin
