Spelling errors
Here are a few packages which have spelling errors in their package description. An easy way to fix them is:
run bzr branch ubuntu:<packagename>
edit the debian/control file
- fix the spelling mistake
run dch -i to document the change you did
- For the ones specifically mentioned below:
run debcommit
run bzr push lp:~<your LP ID>/ubuntu/quantal/<source package>/typo-fix
run bzr lp-propose
This time around we will try to fix the following issues:
- revu-tools (informations information)
- qlix, qlix-dbg (intuative intuitive)
- swac-play (allows to allows one to)
- encadre-image (automaticaly automatically)
- semantik (targetted targeted)
- installation-report-generator (informations information)
- linux-tools-3.4.0-3 (dependant dependent)
- python-zope.size (allows to allows one to)
- happycoders-libdbg-dev (This packages These packages)
- qgfe (allows to allows one to)
- kdevelop-custom-buildsystem (arbitary arbitrary, allows to allows one to)

There are obviously more packages to be fixed, but as they are also in Debian, we'd prefer to get them fixed in Debian, so you might want to take these steps as well:
run bzr bd -- -S
run submittodebian to submit your changes to Debian
