Package: eclipse-platform-data
Version: 3.8.0~rc4-1
Severity: minor

The extended description ends with:

> This package provides the Eclipse Platform and is the base for all 
> Eclipse development plug-ins, but it does not include any except CVS 
> support for source code management. Other plugins are available in 
> different packages, for example:
>
>   * eclipse-jdt Java Development Tools
>   * eclipse-pde Plug-in Development Tools
>   * eclipse-cdt C/C++ Development Tools
>
> This package contains the architecture-independent data files.

The first of these paragraphs is common to both eclipse-platform and 
eclipse-platform-data. It is correct that eclipse-platform provides the 
Eclipse Platform, but eclipse-platform-data only provides a part of it.
I suggest instead:

The Eclipse Platform is the base for all Eclipse development plug-ins...

This package contains the architecture-independent data files of the 
Eclipse Platform.
