sort-of. That's not the case for proper nouns (i.e. names) of which libinput
is arguably one. The same would be true for e.g. systemd and almost all unix
commands. e.g. you wouldn't start a sentence like "Ls shows you the list of
files"

Reading this again, it's grammatically a tad weird anyway, reword to "The
minimum libinput verbosity level to be printed to Weston's log", it removes
some ambiguity and is OCD-compatible :)

Cheers,
