Bug Description
Using the en_CA locale and Edgy amd64, the labels for the components are
"Community maintained Open Source software (universe)"
"By Canonical supported Open Source software (main)"
"By copyright or legal issues restricted software (multiverse)"
"Proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)"
I don't understand why two of the lines start with 'by', it's inconsistent, and if it was desired "Open Source software supported by Canonical" would sound better, although "Canonical supported Open Source software" sounds professional.
Likewise, multiverse should be something more like "Software restricted by copyright or legal issues"
