No, I didn't know.

Let we take some decision before it is too late.  We have two options:

1. `choices' uses debconf to translate some string and prints it

2. `choices' registers new questions, db_subst in them the variable
   parts and prints the names of the questions.

To me the first aproach seams more flexible and easier to implement.

What are the advantages of the second option?
