The description needs some love from my point of view.  Why not take the description from the README file.

FSArchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of a 
file-system to a compressed archive file. The file-system can be restored 
on a partition which has a different size and it can be restored on a 
different file-system. Unlike tar/dar, FSArchiver also creates the 
file-system when it extracts the data to partitions. Everything is 
checksummed in the archive in order to protect the data. If the archive 
is corrupt, you just loose the current file, not the whole archive.

I see no further blocker, package APPROVED.  Please fix the description before you import the package into the cvs.
