Once nixpart 1.0 is released we then only need to delete one single
directory rather than searching for needles in a haystack, that is, all
of <nixpkgs>. Also, it keeps my sanity at an almost healthy level.

Quite a mess but at least the mdraid tests succeed now. However, the
lvm2 tests are still failing, so we need to bring back a few more old
crap :-(

In order to properly run tests, we need to fix the unicode tests and
after some search, I have found that Ludo (who is also the <nixpkgs>
maintainer of parted) already reported this upstream and also provided a
solution:

I'm updating parted to 3.2, because the latest blivet implementation
relies on it for device geometry calculations.

(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.
