This adds a new translatable template, which it is far too late in the
release process to get translated. I think this problem could be
finessed by copying the text of the short description and first paragraph of
the grub-installer/bootdev template.
(Ideally into a common template that is SUBSTED into both to avoid bloat.)
There are also some hardcoded user-visible strings embedded in the code,
which need to be a) moved to the template and b) somehow translated
3 months ago. I don't think that "(An entry dialog will appear)" adds
anything to the $manual_entry string ("Enter device manually").
There is an "enter information manually" string in choose-mirror that
could be copied, with full translations.
device_list() builds a comma-delimited list; it could be that the
description of a device contains a comma (eg, "Foo Corp, Inc. mega super drive"),
and so it needs to be sanitized.

That is unncessary in d-i; d-i always re-asks seen questions.
(And it's very bad style to ever mess with seen flags, in any use of
debconf. You will cause bugs that are hard to find.)
