Bug#219472: iso-scan: Debconf templates polishing



Package: iso-scan
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

This bug report is the now usual "debconf templates polishing"
report....mostly intended for getting consistency among all d-i templates.

Detailed rationale:

ISO has been replaced everywhere by "ISO image". Using "ISO" alone is  used
in spoken language, but written English should be more precise, IMHO.

 Template: debian-installer/iso-scan/title
 Type: text
 #  Main menu item
-_Description: Scan hard drives for an installer ISO
+_Description: Scan hard drives for an installer ISO image

s/ISO/ISO image. Other such changes won't be commented anymore.

 Template: mirror/distribution
 Type: select
 _Choices: woody, sarge, sid
 Default: sarge
-_Description: Select distribution to install
- Please select which of the distributions you want to install.
+_Description: Distribution to install:

  .
-  woody is the current stable release of Debian
-  sarge is the "testing" unreleased version of Debian
-  sid is "unstable" and will never be released.
+  - Woody is the current stable release of Debian;
+  - Sarge is the "testing" unreleased version of Debian;

1) same as choose-mirror. Get consistency among the two formulation for this
common template
 Woody was forgotten, by the way.


 Template: iso-scan/bad-isos
 Type: error

+_Description: Failed to find an installer ISO image

+ not be mounted, and an installer ISO image was not found. The ISO
+ image you downloaded is maybe corrupted. 
+ .
+ Please do a network install instead, or reboot and fix the ISO image.

Apart from the ISO/ISO image change, I have broken this in two paragraphs
for readability...this will also save a string to translate to translators
as one sentence is similar in the next template.

 Template: iso-scan/other-isos
 Type: error
-_Description: Found no installer ISOs
- ${ISO_COUNT} ISO image(s) were found, but none were valid installer ISOs.
- You'll have to do a network install instead, or reboot and fix the ISO.
+_Description: No installer ISO image found
+ ${ISO_COUNT} ISO image(s) were found, but none were valid installer ISO
+ images. 
+ .
+ Please do a network install instead, or reboot and fix the ISO image.

1) Short template : more consistent with other "error" type templates
2) split in two paragraphs, see above.

 Template: iso-scan/success
 Type: note
-_Description: Successfully mounted ${DISTRIBUTION} installer ISO
+_Description: Successfully mounted ${DISTRIBUTION} installer ISO image
  The ISO file ${FILENAME} on ${DEVICE} (${DESCRIPTION}) will be used as the
- installation ISO.
+ installation ISO image.

Hmmmm, the short description is a bit long for a note. Hope this won't be a
problem for translators.
