[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#877949: Package description: do you really mean "offload"?

Package: iscsiuio
Version: 2.0.874-3~deb9u1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english at lists.debian.org

Dear Maintainers,

the last paragraph of the package description [1] and its short
description sound strange to me.

   "This package is required to offload iSCSI onto these devices."

Not being a native English speaker, I found [2]. Thus I believe that
"offload" and "onto" don't fit together. And I'm wondering what would
be a better wording.

Perhaps
   "You need this package|software to make these devices work with iSCSI"?

Hopyfully some native speaker has a better suggestion for this sentence
and the short description.

Kind regards,
    Martin
