Bug#219472: iso-scan: Debconf templates polishing
Package: iso-scan
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
This bug report is the now usual "debconf templates polishing"
report....mostly intended for getting consistency among all d-i templates.
Detailed rationale:
ISO has been replaced everywhere by "ISO image". Using "ISO" alone is used
in spoken language, but written English should be more precise, IMHO.

1) same as choose-mirror. Get consistency among the two formulation for this
common template
Woody was forgotten, by the way.

Apart from the ISO/ISO image change, I have broken this in two paragraphs
for readability...this will also save a string to translate to translators
as one sentence is similar in the next template.
Template: iso-scan/other-isos
Type: error
-_Description: Found no installer ISOs
- ${ISO_COUNT} ISO image(s) were found, but none were valid installer ISOs.
- You'll have to do a network install instead, or reboot and fix the ISO.

1) Short template : more consistent with other "error" type templates
2) split in two paragraphs, see above.

Hmmmm, the short description is a bit long for a note. Hope this won't be a
problem for translators.
