Package: firebird2.0-common
Version: 2.0.3.12981.ds1-6
Severity: minor

For some reason, this package is now installed on my system, probably via KDE 
and Qt.  Fair enough.  But for surprised users like myself, the package 
description tells me nothing about what this "firebird" thing is:

"""
Description: common files for firebird 2.0 servers and clients
 This package contains files common to both servers and clients for both super
 and classic flavours.
 .
 These include the security database, message file (firebird.msg), support
 scripts as well as configuration files in /etc/firebird/2.0.
 .
 Please refer to the firebird2.0-super or firebird2.0-classic packages for more
 information about Firebird in general.
"""

Including the phrase "database management system" somewhere would make this a 
whole lot clearer.
