Package: mdcfg
Severity: minor

In the templates file for mdcfg, the acronym MD has been consistently 
translated with "multidisk". However, it really is short for "multiple 
devices". As a rough synonym "software RAID" is often used.

"Multiple device" is also prefered by the Debian maintainer of mdadm. In 
the mdadm documentation and messages the term "MD array" is now used 
frequently.

In Google "md multiple device" gives twice as many hits as "md multiple 
disk".
See for example:
- http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man4/md.4.html
Although wikipedia also seems to have it wrong:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks

There are also a two strings in partman that contain multidisk:
./partman/partman-auto-raid/debian/partman-auto-raid.templates:39:_Description: 
Multidisk (MD) not available
./partman/partman-auto-raid/debian/partman-auto-raid.templates:40: The 
current kernel doesn't seem to support multidisk devices. This should be
