Ah, OK! I was talking about a po template file for the i18n of a program, while you thought I were talking about a debconf templates file...

Moreover, I acknowledge that specifying the offending field value could make for a potentially more useful error message, but I would like to avoid introducing too many changes into the code during the wheezy freeze, or I'll have a very hard time in asking the release team to grant a freeze exception...
