s/will fit/will not fit/ ?

I'd rephrase this latter one, to something like:

* Knowledge of any language available in a standard Debian base system,
  suitable for writing such a conversion tool in (typically an
  interpreted language, such as perl or python; the choice is up to the
  student).

A very minor edit, but still.

Hrm, is that really all? Something a bit more attractive here wouldn't
hurt. "Internals" and "kernel" sounds very scary.

Sadly, off the top of my head, I'm unable to come up with anything
fitting. I'll let you know if anything pops in.
