Yes, sure. You'f better removing the underscore for preventing
translators to put a wrong default value there.

You *should* not....

Tim, DO NOT sort the list. As far as I know, po-debconf uses the item
order number for determining what is the user choice. In fact, debconf
always store this in english.
So, if you sort the list with "Indonesisch" at its place, "Baskisch" will
become the first choice/ Then, if a dutch user chooses "Baskisch", the
real choice will be bahasa... :-)
BTW, I ignored that bahasa is indonesian....In fact, I didn't
translate these items as they are, as far as I know, names for
hyphenation systems rather than strict language names. But this may be
discussed (I'm even considering changing my mind and finally
translating them in french).
BTW, Atsuhito, are we close of a release for tetex-bin ?
