Thanks for catching this typo, you're right that it makes the package description senseless.

It's unfortunate this got out in the LTS release, however since it is just a spelling fix for the package description, it doesn't qualify as a "high impact bug" as per the SRU guidelines: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

I'll leave the quantal bug open though; it should be fixed there.
