The description for iotop doesn't make any sense nor does it describe the package in any useful way.

Current description:

Python program with a top like UI used to show of behalf of which process is the I/O going on

Suggested Description:

A application to view the I/O usage of processes using a python driven GUI.
This task depends upon

Note that it's recommended to drop the leading "A" or "An" in the description.

How about just: "View I/O stats for your processes". Less is more? :)

I think that sounds good; pretty much just needs a legible description of some sort.

No action here for a while, so I updated the iotop package and also added --optimize=1. Hope that's ok with you, Jaroslav. Fixed.
