(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
This reverts commit 807cd4b4d4, as it
broke the 'awesome' package. It was also an incomplete change, only
modifying lua-5.1 and none of the other lua versions.
A better approach, if wanting lua to pick up external modules, would be
to loop over $NIX_PROFILES. $NIX_PROFILES is unset in build
environments, so it should be safe.

This puts manpages into "$out/lib/erlang/man" and also symlinks them
into "$out/share/man" with an "erl" suffix (similar to how Debian is
handling this) so those manpages are unlikely to collide with any other
manpages, like for example inet(3).
Closes#3396.

Currently, we have a 'jack' package with attrname 'jack1d' and a
'jackdbus' package with attrname 'jackaudio'. Make it consistent 'jack1'
and 'jack2' in both package name and attrname.
This aligns the naming with what can be found on the JACK homepage.
Q: what's the difference between jack1 and jack2?
