1. Hm... But there are more emulators in the otherosfs section, and this section's description matches the best for them, so I guess those packages are wrong (report this to Debian if you want). And anyway, the section has to be manually changed by an Archive Admin (just changing it in debian/control has no effect).

2. Just add an entry like "* Modify Maintainer value to match the DebianMaintainerField specification." to debian/changelog.

3. Well, you can make them, but they will just make the diff to Debian bigger and would be overwritten anyway with the next Debian upload that fixes the other issues (unless the Maintainer decides that he likes your description better than his and uses it there). The proper way to get such trivial changes in (which isn't even because of a typo, just a "I like the description better this way) would be to propose them to it's Debian Maintainer, who is the guy in charge for this package.
