s/singal/signal/.  (Affects searches, and also affects understanding in
that singal sounds like a plausible word.)

While I'm writing: the punctuation looks a little strange to me (though
I'm not a user of this package, and am unfamiliar with related hardware
& software):

  - Is `ir-remotes' a file or command, or does it mean physical remote
    control devices that communicate using infra-red light?  If the
    latter then I'd suggest `IR remotes' or even a longer phrase.

  - It took me a while to guess that `...' means `and so on'.  I'd
    suggest using `etc.'.

  - I don't understand `events-keys'.

Maybe some of these things will be evident to most users of the package;
it doesn't matter if non-users of the package like me don't understand
so long as the package description is enough for all english-speaking
debian users to decide whether to install the package or not.


Btw, I haven't filed a bug report given that this is a trivial problem,
but I can file one if you prefer.

pjrm.
