Yes, you understand what I want. Of course, we could use a lookup
table, but I would rather not, as any typo in either the template or
the lookup table will give us truble. Of course, we could generate
both from the same list to avoid any such problems. I have been
thinking about it, but wanted to test the new cdebconf feature first.
If the feature is currently missing, I might have to reconsider.

But it is not very hard to convert to uppercase:
uppercase`echo $lowercase | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]`

I do not see the need yet. No use trowing away the existing
translations for no reason.
