Obscure d-i strings
Hi,
first off all I have good news: The German packages/po/de.po file of
debian-installer is now 100% up to date.
I also found a few minor issues:

_Description: Unsupported partition table on the boot disk

kernel is going to be installed on the ${SILO_PART} partition located
on a disk with the partition table of type "${SILO_DISK}".

Here I removed a space at the end of the line since I got a two spaces in
the msgid. Will this occur also in the output?
A similar question was discussed recently on the debian-l10n-german.

US English but not in Europe) or on the display style (GTK frontend vs.
text front end)?
