Mispelled word in description of gnome-power-manager and power-manager

Bug Description

[I tried to file this bug with a component of gnome-power-manager, but bugzilla
refused to accept that.]

In the description for packages gnome-power-manager and power-manager, the word
"stati" is used. There is no such English word. I assume the writer intended
to use the plural of status, which in Latin is "status" (with a long "u") and in
English is "statuses". I suggest just using "status":

  gnome powermanager manages battery status, events and powermanagement settings.

Extra info: the pedantic among us may follow the URL for more info on Latin
plurals (e.g. it may surprise you to know that octopus -> octopoda in Latin, not
octopi).
