Bug Description
The package description for Inkscape is not very user-friendly. It includes the names of several technical packages, has a lot of specific (and mostly irrelevant) technical information and does not focus on tasks that the user might want to perform.

This will make it more likely that non-technical users looking for a vector editor will find Inkscape.

A selection of powerful vector graphics editing tools comes as standard. There is excellent support for paths, gradients, layers, alpha transparency, and text flow control.
