Good point.

I suspect Christian was refering to the debconf question presented by
the package.  It is using debconf priority high to ask if the detected
drive should be used to load drivers.  I suspect its priority should
be lowered to medium as Christian suggests.

The menu item do not have a debconf priority, and thus its menu
handling is not affected by any debconf priority. :)

There is also the template priority which affect what translators work
on, and there I suspect Christians changes were correct.  This new
udeb is not used in the common case, and its translations should thus
not be very high priority.

Happy hacking,
