This time I have nothing to say about the templates and a huge
backlog of control file changes - slightly delayed by the aftermath
of a ten-hour power outage, so it's a good thing I already had them
handy from last year.

As luck would have it there's one in bug #461839!

   RHCS is a cluster management infrastructure, for building
   high-availability multi-node clusters with service and IP failover on
   top of shared Fibre Channel/iSCSI storage devices.
   .
   The only scope for this package is to install the full Red Hat Cluster Suite
   in one shot. It is safe to remove it.

My proposed rewording was:
    CMAN is a symmetric general-purpose cluster manager. It provides a
    service manager that handles service groups, plus a connection
    manager that handles cluster membership management, messaging among
    the cluster nodes, event notification, quorum and state transitions.

(I never did find out what handling quorum means.)

I'm not so sure.  "User space" could equally well be talking about
the storage capacity of my /home partition, while "userspace" is a
jargon term coined by the kind of techies who are so deeply into
kernel-hacking that they think of init as a user.  We could
compromise with "user-space", but I suspect that would be unpopular
all round.

Wait, "userspace tools"?  Isn't that redundant?  If they were in
kernelspace, they wouldn't be tools.  So just say:

    This package contains only tools for controlling the cluster manager
    itself.

Partly to cut down on paragraphs beginning with "This" I'd prefer to
make it something like:

    The logthread library provides [...]

Add some more capitalisation: XPath, CMAN/Corosync.  Assuming
"objdb" is a database and not something falling on the keyboard,
shouldn't it be "to access _the_ CMAN/Corosync configuration objdb"?
Or alternatively just "to access CMAN/Corosync configuration data"?
I'd tentatively suggest:

    The css library provides a simplified XPath implementation to access
    CMAN/Corosync configuration data via the same API as the old and
    deprecated libccs provided by ccsd.

Wait, why does libccs3 need to say this?  Reserve it for the -dev
packages, where it should be merged with (or replace) the final "for
developing applications" paragraph.
 
[...]

And more besides:
    CMAN provides a general-purpose Corosync/OpenAIS-based cluster manager.

Later: what's the difference between libdlm3 and libdlmcontrol3?
They both have identical descriptions, as do their -dev packages.
There's some missing information here (and without it I can't fix
them).

You'd think there would be a lintian test for repeated Description
lines...

Description: Red Hat cluster suite - global file system tools
 This package is part of the Red Hat Cluster Suite, a complete
 high-availability solution.
 .
 The Global File System allows a cluster of machines to concurrently access
 shared storage hardware like SANs or iSCSI and network block devices. GFS
 can be deployed to build high-availability services without the single point
 of failure of a file server.
 .
 This package contains tools for creating and managing global file systems.
 GFS itself is a set of kernel modules.
 .
 Note: the package requires gfs2-tools installed; this is known to be
 reliable even though the GFS2 kernel modules themselves are highly
 experimental and *MUST NOT* be used in a production environment yet.

 This package contains the source necessary for compiling the Red Hat
 Cluster Suite out-of-tree kernel module gfs against the Linux kernel
 source tree.
