[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
In the check-description-style function in guix/lint.scm, the string
"sentences in description should be followed ..." should be pluralized
using ngettext, not ~p as it is now. ~p only adds an 's' if the
corresponding argument is greater than 1. Needless to say, there are
many languages that don't follow this pattern.
