Bug Description

Binary package hint: pysdm

The description in Maverick's software centre contains both a spelling mistake/typo and confusing grammar.
"PySDM is a PyGTK Storage Device Manager that allows full customization of hard disk mountpoints whitout manually access to fstab. It also allows the creation of udev rules for dynamic configuration of storage devices"

This same description with the same mistakes is also used on the projects website. I would suggest it should at least be reworded/fixed to something like:
"PySDM is a PyGTK Storage Device Manager that allows full customization of hard disk mount points without the need to manually edit fstab. It also allows the creation of udev rules for dynamic configuration of storage devices."

However a better more complete rewrite of the description maybe required to make the softwares description make more sense to people unfamiliar with fstab and partition mounting principles eg.

"Storage Device Manager allows modifications to how storage devices are mounted and displayed. Including rules for how removable devices should be setup."
"Storage Device Manager will detect your partitions and devices allowing you to change device names, permissions and mounting behaviour."

Those are just some suggestions of alternative descriptions which maybe more suitable.
