question re netcfg/dhcp_timeout




I noticed a small discrepancy in the type for this question.

packages/netcfg/debian/netcfg-dhcp.template says:
  Template: netcfg/dhcp_timeout
  Type: text
  Description: for internal use; can be preseeded
   Timeout for trying DHCP
  Default: 15

but the documentation[1] says:

  # If you have a slow dhcp server and the installer times out waiting for
  # it, this might be useful.
  #d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 60

Is the difference between text and string significant to 'd-i'?
I notice localechooser uses 'Type: string' in some places and
'text' in others.

Cheers
Vince
